[Berger] Morey and Harden Share in Interest in Scott Brooks

Not surprised. Still think he'll go to the Wizards though

 

Daryl Morey and James Harden share an interest in a threesome with Scotty Brooks? — Carl Herrera

...

Thibodeau, Brooks & Van Gundy — really, those are the only 3 candidates?

 

Why the **** are all of these rumors hitting before game 2 in the playoffs??

 

I didn't see McHale's name in that article.

 

*tinfoil*
I have a theory that Morey might be throwing these rumors out there so all the coaches he has interest in know that the Rockets job is open and hopefully the coaches will wait and not be scooped up by other organizations.

 

I was going to come in here and say "F***********CK!", but I'm kind of ok with it now..

 

When would they otherwise occur?

I think there are just a few decent coaching candidates out there so teams are jumping on them like a bum jumps on a baloney sandwich.

 

so harden is firing and hiring coaches now? why do the rockets even need morey these days

 

If Les is keeping Morey, Please, please hire Thibs and give him control over team players, trades and draft. Morey can stay as GM run the "contract" and analysis side of basketball. Thibs please!

 

Please don't.

 

McHale has sworn off crocodile tears.

 

Article is 5 days old.

 

Never hire a coach your superstar wants, that is a recipe for disaster for the team.

Hire a coach you will think will be good for your superstar, not who your superstar thinks will be good for him as a coach.

 

Enough with the Scott Brooks garbage.

And Harden aint picking the coach after what happened this year

 

Why? He got run out of town in Chicago by both players and management, and he basically wore out both Deng and Joakim Noah to a nub. The sad part is, all that and Chicago win a ring. IIRC they didn't even reach the finals, so basically they had the same result as the Rox except the Rox plays in a tougher conference and started out with broken down Yao Mac and the oldest team in the league whereas Chicago started out with lottery picks in Rose and Noah.

 

Give me Dave Joerger

 

Enablers everywhere.

 

Am I to assume that Brooks wants to make certain that Howard will opt out before he would coach the Rockets? Because if he is making having Howard a condition for accepting the job, he is too clueless to consider.
