Isn't that pretty obvious? Any franchise would be pretty dumb not to consult the centerpiece of their franchise when making a decision like that

 

Wow. He really has this p***y franchise by the balls

 

Too bad. You can bet your ass any new coach won't be defensive minded then!

 

Enabler coming in as new coach in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

So much drama with these little ferries on the last day of their season. Like they all think they should get in parting shots while they still are gasping for breath instead of trying to help each other swim. Disgusting from DM & Les all the way down.

 

Morey is a laughing stock.

 

Warmly welcome Kelvin Sampson, warmly welcome.

 

Isn't this an extract of the other ESPN article? 4th thread about the same thing?

 

They probably mean as in to let Harden recruit and ask Durant what coaches he wants to play for, etc. I'm also pretty sure Harden has already talked to Durant on Dwight and Harden already knows Durant thinks he's soft and wouldn't want to play with him so Rockets probably already came to the decision to not resign Dwight because of word of mouth from Harden + Dwights regression.

This is great news though. Harden probably wants a young, former player. Kevin Ollie might be the guy and that's exciting for me. Ollie will probably also be Durant's choice.

Everyone get on the Ollie bandwagon. Jon Snow made him steward for a reason. Vote Ollie for Lord Commander of the Houston.

If Harden successfully recruits Kevin Durant, expect Kevin Ollie to ask for Morey to sign Thabo Sefolosha also for backup SF and SF spot. Another former teammate of Durant, Harden and Ollie and one Durant called the heart and soul of the Thunder.

 

we need a poll thread on which version of the ESPN article people prefer.

 

Why would you want someone like that? This team first and formost lacks discipline and structure. Why would you want another push over 'player's coach' that let's Harden lollygag around the defensive end?

Harden needs a dictator coach that ****s on his ego. He doesn't have the maturity of a Kobe/Wade/Lebron where he doesn't need to push Harden into the right direction.

 

Click bait title and ****ty articles . Sure he can be consulted , it's up to the staff how much hey take into acocunt his input .

 

Harden to hire Amber Rose as head coach?

 

Did anybody really think his opinion wouldn't be sought/considered?

 

reeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaassssssssshhhhhhh

 

If that is true, that is a very bad sign from the org

Just hand it over to a flawed superstar, yeah yeah

 

True :grin:

 

Last thing we need is another enabler lackey coach who will not hold Haren accountable and let him do whatever the F he wants on the court while playing no D

Great way to try and ring

Harden is not the calibre of player of Curry, Lebron, KD or perhaps even Kawhi and Davis to have significant input on the new coach

Mauri should just ask Harden his opinion as a small token of appreciation being the franchise player but it should not weigh heavily in the final decision

 

Better than Morey having any input. Morey needs to stay put in the basement where he belongs. Coaching is important. Can't just have an algorithm implementer. Stay in your lane Morey. You do you. Let a coach do coach.
