    Tom Thibodeau - defensive coach, hired by Minnesota TWolves
    Dave Joerger - defensive coach, hired by Sacramento Kings
    Frank Vogel - defensive coach, hired by Orlando Magic
    Jeff Van Gundy - defensive coach, well, we thought about talking with him.

    Just reading that makes me even more upset. Have we become that irrelvant? We don't interview the hot coaches that could make a difference, restore local interest and national respect. We have slipped below Minnesota, Sacramento, and Orlando.

    Luckily we can look forward to that incoming first round draft pick to help turn things around. Right after we sign Kevin Durant.

    J.R. Rockets just didn't move fast enough! I mean, I blinked and he was off the table!

    Yeah, I heard Les & Daryl are catching a plane right now to Orlando to stop him from signing the contract, while currently on face time with him, keeping constant contact.

    They're moving fast, fast as they can!

    So I guess "he's part of the process" really means "we're not even going to consider him"

    Murray should get used to rejection like this, this is what's going to happen this offseason. Morey will attempt to "move fast" on Durant, Horford, Conley too, then end up with settling for the player equivalent of Pringles. I guess that's Ryan Anderson on a max contract?

    If D'Antoni doesn't work out and Vogel thrives in Orlando, I will never forgive Les Alexander.

    On some level I hope it happens just so Les gets embarrassed and sells the team.

    Don't worry, MDA is going to have such a good offense the Rockets won't need defense. Oh... Right, we don't have the roster for MDA. I think Les is becoming senile, maybe he thinks Nash is walking through that door (young Nash).
