    I do know that Jared Dudley would be a great fit here as a Harden compliment.

    Call me a free agent fan. Can't support an organization that doesn't put winning first.

    Probably the one guy I did not want the Rockets to sign... the bigger picture could be that Les is getting tired of Morey since this hiring was on him and him alone. If Morey goes I am not sure how easy it will be to replace him with a GM just as good if not better. I have no idea how all this will work. This nightmare of a season just keeps on giving.

    Great point. McHale was so awesome that nobody even gave him a freaking interview to coach. McHale is obviously a misunderstood genius. Play harder! *clap clap*

    I'll give it up to Clutch. He went in on his post. Could have easily tried to blow sunshine up our asses and who could have blamed him with how hard he's worked to develop a relationship with the organization.

    But outside of the most casual basketball fan, no one thinks this was the best move....huge disappointment.

    Why won't this idiot just sell the team to someone that actually wants to win? Obvious he's just in it for the money.

    4 year deal is just as insulting. Like anywhere else wanted him that he leveraged a contract length longer than McHale's extension.

    I too will gladly eat crow if this somehowwww works out. BUT, it's hard to see this organization running smoothly over the next 3+ seasons. I imagine the shake-ups will keep coming. Possibly ending up a sad story on ESPN 30 for 30.

    Hopefully the players just quit on Pringles and he's fired before next season.
