Seattle Times - "This summer, they were telling me I'm the third option and that [I'm] going to produce and do this and do that, then you show up and they don't give a damn about you," Radmanovic said in the middle of the visiting locker room after the loss. "Like you never did anything for this organization. It's really hard. I'm not a rookie. This is not a new coach. This coach has been here for four years together with me and he knows what to expect from me. I don't need all of those excuses. ... He's just not putting me in.
"I don't want to talk to him. I have nothing to talk to him about. Like I told you before, he's the coach and I'm the player. He's responsible for his acts, and I hope to win games."
At issue is Radmanovic's decreased playing time. Last year, he averaged 29.5 minutes. This season, he is averaging about 16.5, but he played extra minutes Tuesday when Weiss went with reserves for the final 6:52.
Radmanovic blames his lack of playing time for averaging just 6.7 points and failing to score 10 in a game.
"It's a difference of 15 minutes," he said. "You can put it together however you want, that's all I can see. Fifteen minutes. I'm not happy. I can pretend I'm happy, but I'm not and he has to make a decision with his rotation and who's going to be that guy who plays."
Seattle have a flawed roster but they win games....at least last year they did. Ronald Murray probably could complain too but Ronals signed to come back as a free agent.
Well....Rad to Knicks rumors? Guys keep saying we need a guy that can shoot and he is definately a good shooter. He's got good size and he wants to play and win....he said it himself.
Pack your bags Taylor.
