Jeff Van Gundy and Zach Lowe speculated on the future of Nate McMillan as

ESPN籃球報導團隊的兩位名嘴—Jeff Van Gundy與Zach Lowe，在上周四的Podcast
節目中，推測了溜馬隊總教練Nate McMillan的未來。

McMillan was promoted by the Pacers from assistant coach to head coach to
replace Frank Vogel in 2016.
McMillan(以下簡稱老麥)在離開拓荒者後，在2013年加入溜馬的助教團，並且在
2016年Frank Vogel沒被續約後，升官接掌總教練職務。
"All the Indiana Pacers do under Nate McMillan is win," said Zach Lowe.
Lowe先以這段話起頭︰「老麥掌管下的溜馬隊，做到最好的事情就是『努力贏球』
。」
Lowe also credited how the Pacers have created a culture of commitment on
defense, but suggested the franchise could make a coaching change to take a
leap offensively.
主持人也讚美了溜馬建立了球員願意積極防守的文化，但他也暗示球隊假如要大幅
提升進攻的品質，可能會做教練的更動。
"I've had two people come up to me since I've been here and say 'You know,
Nate McMillan is in trouble," said Van Gundy.
JVG回覆道︰「我自從來到奧蘭多園區之後，的確有兩個聯盟相關人士，在跟我寒暄
後，順便補爆料『你知道嗎，老麥正陷入(可能下台)的麻煩中。』」
"It's been the hottest rumor all season," interjected Lowe. "It's been a
rumor all season long."
主持人又插嘴︰「這其實是這個球季最熱門的乳摸啊，一個圍繞了整個球季的乳摸
啊！」
Van Gundy asserted the Pacers could risk taking a bigger step back by moving
on from McMillan.
然而，JVG也斷言溜馬一旦不再與McMillan續約，球隊也將承受戰績大退化的
風險。
"What you've heard in Orlando has been going around all season," said Lowe.
Lowe added that the Pacers have denied the rumor to him privately.
Lowe又有點跳針的回應「你在奧蘭多聽到的那些話，已經傳遍整個賽季了！」
但他最後也補充︰溜馬隊已經私下對他否認了這個會影響球隊士氣的謠言。
