This nonsense has to wear on Pop. I can imagine a coach like him wanting to retire just to stop dealing with the direction the NBA is going.
That seems to contradict what WOJ and "MO MO" have reported as well though that Lebron doesn't want to go alone and amusingly enough back up what SAS reported last week that Lebron wanted to go to the Lakers even if he didn't get a second banana with him right away.
The nonsense where players are allowed to choose where they work rather than being treated as commodities? Pop is a great coach but part of any manger's job is managing moral. He's had two players want to leave in two years.
I was wondering yesterday when they are going to do that. Seems they are still checking prevailing conditions prior to that though.
The nonsense where players are all trying to orchestrate teaming up instead of competing. That has to be frustrating. It's frustrating as a fan for sure. I want the Rockets to win a title badly and a big part is I recognize that because we aren't a primo city like LA our window is very short with no margin for error.
To be fair, SAS acknowledged that Lebron's team had already denied the KD story -- he just wasn't buying the denial.
LMAO, that's one way to do journalism. Make something up, say that the party involved denies what he made up, say that you don't believe them.
I’m convinced most of these media guys are spitting out bs and hoping one of their theories click (through). [fixed]
What incentive does Stephen A have to lie is what my question is. He’s not woj, Amick, etc... he doesn’t make money off of being first
Lowe: Would LeBron come alone? Not enough people are considering that the answer may actually be yes. It seems that's been dismissed. I could see it going to Ingram, Kuzma & two picks and that being the line both teams ask "Am I comfortable with that?" More, the Lakers are uncomfortable. Less, the Spurs are uncomfortable. Could Boston match or beat that offer with their current mindset of not wanting to give everything up? No. Boston needs to put their good stuff in there. Arnovitz: They're very cautious right now.
I realize Chris Bosh had a near death experience a couple years back but if he’s willing to risk his life for HTown I’m all for it. He honestly can’t be any worst then Ryan Anderson and I’m sure he would come for vet min. If it doesn’t work cut him. Low risk high reward proposition. On the Lebron front I just have a feeling it’s Cleveland 60% Houston 40%. There was already the report he didn’t want elaborate free agency meetings, so that tells me he has his mind semi made up. All the reporting is just LA media (ESPN) trying to create indecision. Rockets don’t really need to recruit. If you want to win Championships like you said you did you come to Houston.
