    As F’ed up as that situation was, he was not the married party. The Mormon mother of three should have kept her vagina in her khakis. With that being said, I could care less about his infidelity when it comes to his ability to coach. I hope it’s quiet because he has already been hired. He is the best candidate for the job after all.

    Just to add on, although I don’t condone it, tens of thousands of married people (single as well) cheat every day. Where does this overblown sense of righteousness come from in this instance? Was he wrong? Yes, but why is he being judged for something that has absolutely nothing to do with his ability to lead this team?

    Good decision making is mandatory. He hurt his team by banging out the help (or did he) and it shows a breakdown in his ethics related to the workplace. What good does having a sex addict do a team if he cant be relied on to keep his dick in his pants? "Its only his first "mistake" he deserves a 2nd chance" is it really? Or is it just the first time he was caught? Its fine if people dont value the monogamous relationship anymore, but to position that lifestyle as "ok" is interesting. Im sure there is a middle ground here somewhere.

    Hope there isn't anything that is worth this secrecy.

    Let's get Ime and Jaylen Brown (while keeping Alpi, Jalen, Bari, Tari) and Wemby. And then we still have cap space to fill out the team.

    Who's Bday under your moniker....

    Also Toronto offer up more international prey for the Udoke Nukem.

    When you can upgrade from mediocre Nurse you do it. Raptors know wtf they're doing. They'll be back in the playoffs with Ime next year.

    Welp Rockets its time to settle for the latter or Vogel.

    Rockets should just go ahead and outbid the Raptors for Udoka.

    "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" ;)

    Hopefully for Udoka TOR can find him a couple of top 10 players to keep him successful.

    Im not attached to anyone on the team enough to die on a hill for any of them - I've cut for them all equally. I'd give BOS their pick of the litter if they would send us Brown.

    I called it in the beginning of the thread. Udoka has his pick of the coaching litter and Toronto would get him as soon as nurse was gone.

    Nurse will be the coach here

    I’m not sure Nurse is a better candidate than Udoka, but he’s definitely in my top 2. Not sure why Houston wouldn’t just lock down Udoka unless TO is his first choice and Nurse is Houston’s. Strange stuff, but if we do end up with Nurse I’ll get over letting Udoka leave down without a contract.

    I see no reason why. Nurse is just as much a disciplinarian as Udoka with a Ring to boot. He knows how to develop young players and has connections in Houston. Won’t role over for Stone either

    We don't even know if Nurse wants to take a break from coaching if he leaves Toronto. It is nowhere near a forgone conclusion Nurse wants to go to Houston if he is let go by Toronto.

    The media is doing a good job in making the Rockets the least desirable gig in the NBA. I'm sure coaches are much smarter than to listen to ESPN gossip but it certainly doesn't help the situation.

    Coming to a rebuilding team from a team with championship aspirations is taking a break. Nurse will get a 6 year contract worth over $60 mil and have less pressure to perform with a younger group.

    It’s a win for him

    there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel. worst case scenario is frank vogel which is a decent coach.
