Team USA Notebook: McMillan Preparing to Have Fernandez in Training Camp
Filed under: Trail Blazers, USA Basketball, Thunder, FIBA World Championship
ISTANBUL — Portland coach Nate McMillan wouldn’t mind at all seeing Rudy Fernandez stay with the Trail Blazers.
McMillan, a Team USA assistant, was asked by FanHouse if his hope is the disgruntled swingman will remain with the team.
“He’s a great player,” McMillan said. “He’s a good player. A talented player. Very talented.”
Asked further about the subject and McMillan said, “He is in my notes for training camp. All right.”
Fernandez, unhappy with his role in McMillan’s offense, wants to be traded and already has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for that demand having been publicly issued. Through his agent, Andy Miller, Fernandez told The Oregonian two weeks ago he intends to not report to training camp even though he has two years left on his contract.
