    The thing that troubles me most is the rumor that the owner wanted D'Antoni because he envisioned Harden being the next Steve Nash. I pray to the basketball deities that this isn't the path Houston is heading down.

    For now, I'm still holding out a sliver of hope that Morey will have an amazing offseason and this somehow all works out.

    Stupid, terrible, terrible hire.

    Les wanting to get more involved probably set this franchise back 2-3 years. Morey has to be banging his head on a table somewhere asking why.

    No! No! No1

    Look, I watch that show faithfully as a kid. Here's how the refrain goes:

    Happy trails to you,
    until we play D again.
    Happy trails to you,
    keep smiling until then.

    So there is still no front office said anything on coach or Harden???

    They just keep quiet like the pathetic last season.

    Just let the stupid SOB have his fix of Pringles. We'll probably be back here next year interviewing another 100 coaches.

    It would almost make more sense if the Rockets signed D'Antoni as a player.

    I have had my signature for decade. I can't believe JVG and MDA will have both been Rockets coaches--from opposite sides of the stylistic spectrum.

    That said, it takes a management team to be successful. Les, DM, the new coach, and the assistant coaches need to be on the same page. Success is possible.

    only in theory.

    also, how do you define success?

    Mike D'Antoni with his Italian connection could be huge in us recruiting a superstar player like Alessandro Gentile to come over.

    Terrible hire. I think mr alexander is having an alzheimers or under the spell of morey r****d... the hire is purely because of howard.. Not because they want to rebuild I hope howard opts in so that mr alexander will fire morey r****d..

    If the rockets are doung these because of howard. They might do it to harden too in the future.. This organization is broken.. Sell the franchise to olajuwon... Harden will not resign with this team goodbye lottery rockets

    I'll pass Judgment once I see the new Roster of players. After this move of hiring Mike D'Antoni I expect Morey knows he will need a massive overhaul on the roster of current players if he expects to mold a team for Mike.

    So I guess we're just going to waste the rest of Harden's time under contract. Okay then.

    I'm so done with this team. Wake me up when they're in the WCF... if that ever happens again under Les.
