    So they settled on Silas? I think this relationship has run its course thanks to Tillman

    I think it’s getting to that point. I’m expecting any day now, for Harden to request a trade and Westbrook to follow him out the door.

    You can tolerate someone for being cheap but when they are clueless and think they know it all to go with the penny pinching ways it becomes a intolerable situation.


    Tillman is a piece of work

    We somehow stumbled our way into the correct hire.

    So:

    - Tilman wanted JVG but Harden and Wesbtrook didn't
    - Harden wanted Lue or Lucas
    - Stone wanted Lucas

    ...and they ended up signing the one no one of them initially wanted, lol

    had to throw this back out there from Cod's post in October. and you know Morey knows exactly what went on. All he needs to do is plant that seed/throw that reel. It's just a matter of time

    Relax. Harden is a professional. I like I said we don't need anybody that don't want to be here. Player, coach, and or GM. Harden has had his way a lot if he won't compromise then maybe it is time. Remember the Ty Lawson experiment? What was that other old ass guard we signed just for Harden? Harden has to understand in order to take that next step he needs to get out his comfort zone. Doing the same thing(super small ball) that doesn't work is the definition of insanity. Silas was the logical choice.

    That's the first thing I said. "Since we can't agree, let's get somebody totally different!" lol. Unless all those guys just wanted too much money or didn't agree to other stipulations like bench coaches or something. Who knows.

    I'm not saying Marc Stein doesn't know what he's saying...

    But facts of what ACTUALLY happened would lead one to conclude he doesn't have great sources here.

    Tilman wanted whoever was the cheapest. I have a hard time believing that was jvg.

    I mean, Stein has been on point more often then not i'd say, and if you think about this report, it also make sense on paper:

    - Tilman wanted someone to instill a new culture etc... -> check
    - Harden wanted a players coach instead of someone more lumbering -> check

    Not sure about Stone but, yeah.

    Stone has shown strength, if this is true. I believe Stein's information is correct.

    Haha..the reports must have it wrong. We cant be that bad at decision making where no one gets their pick of the coach, can we?

    Do you think it's Dallas Mavs propaganda? Or did Silas keep them in the loop, so he wouldn't lose his job?

    Maybe just like @Dr of Dunk said they just went with "Since we can't agree, let's get somebody totally different!" :D
