Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3984373, member: 2458"] He would have on and off clashes with Del Harris, who they fired in the middle of the next year anyway. In general he could just be a headcase and a pain in the butt, and at the time the whole team was young and immature and lacked leadership. He made the all star team in 98, but got hurt and then never really found his role again and was said to be a part of team chemistry problems. They basically gave him away to a bad team, to fix chemistry problems and to make sure he wasn’t on a team where he could really haunt them. I felt they should’ve calmed down and been more patient. Team was young and loaded, let them grow up. If I recall, Nick was considered a leader and not a headcase as he became an older veteran in the league. [/QUOTE]
