Musselman on 1140 a few minutes ago

[nebs]

One thing I noted (not that it's THAT big a deal) is that he has talked to everyone from the team except.. Vitaly, Monia and BRAD. Said everyone else seems to be working out in the off-season etc. He wasn't sure if Vitaly and Monia were over seas or what and didn't add to the Brad comment.

 

[kingsfan916]

brad's probably gone fishin'

 

[Jechtsphere]

Or hunting lol

 

[nebs]

Brad probably doesn't even know he has a new coach yet.

Lol, now that would be a first.

 

[chelle]

did he say anything about the players he did talk to already? Did he say anything that has not been said in previous interviews?

 

[nebs]

He mentioned Cisco and Shareef as players he's actually met with. Said he talked to Bibby by phone the other night and KT last night. Talked to Ron a few times already and should be in some time next week.. the coaching staff should be in place by then as well. Nothing spectacular though, no.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Unless Brad is in hiding somewhere you really have to wonder if this means he's on the way out. Since he specifically mentioned Pot and Monia as the only others he hasn't talked to (does Monia even speak English?) that means he has talked to Corliss, Hart, Price and Sampson along with the rest of the regular rotation. There just doesn't seem any reason to chat with those guys ahead of Brad unless he's not part of the plan any longer.

 

[chelle]

Maybe Brad is in the middle of nowhere hunting. Maybe he is intensive practice for the olympic team. Who am I trying to kid? It is odd that he has not talked to Brad.

Eh, Brad's probably out communing with the rifle gods. I wouldn't read too much into it....

 

[pdxKingsFan]

10 years ago I wouldn't read much into it, in this day and age with all of the communication options available its hard not to. You'd think Brad would have as much interest in chit-chatting as Muss would. If he doesn't its rather disappointing.

 

[captain bill]

or that muss had a brain fart and forgot to mention it. my moneys on that. he didnt add brad to the didnt talk to list or the talk to list which means...BRAD DOESNT EXIST OMG WHERES BRAD HES BURIED UNDER ARCO!!!!!

seriously. TDOS is giving people cabin fever

The OP said that Muss specifically named Brad and while giving reasons for not speaking to the others he didn't elaborate on Brad. We know the Maloofs want more defense and we also know they have publically stated shoring up the front line was a top priority for the offseason. Is it really a big stretch to see this as a pretty good first indication that Brad is falling off the radar?

 

[SacKings384]

Lol, Brads going to show up to training camp at the beginning of the season with a massive sunburn and be like...
"Dosh garnitt where the heck is Rick?"
Ron:Uh... Rick is gone, Musselman is our new coach...
Brad:Well I'll be...

i didnt hear the interview, but reading this thread i got the impression that brad wasnt mentioned at all.

I heard the interview and Brad was mentioned. I didn't take it as a big deal, however. This time of year Brad is out hunting. New technology or no, if he wants to get away from it all, he knows how to do it.

Oooh, classic.

Then he'll spit, toss down the deer carcass he has on his shoulder, and jack up a couple 3's, just to see if he remembers how....

Yeah he was mentioned.. Lamb asked him who he has had contact with players wise. He said everyone except Vitaly, Monia... that he wasn't sure if they were even in the country.. and Brad Miller. Then it went on to something else.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Maybe what he meant was that he could not understand anything that came out of Brad's mouth?

 

[wow22]

As a bonding experience mussellman is gonna pack his jaw with 2 cans of copenhagen while playing 3 on 3 pickup

Exactly right.

You can see its a TDOS since people are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Unless he has a satellite phone, it is quite conceivable he doesn't have cell service. There are plenty of "dead" zones in the area I live.
