At this point Ime should just take over all basketball operations for the Rockets. He should be the GM and coach.
Knowing his archetype, I think he is probably already planning this. Good, it will at least keep Stone on his toes.
Maybe Larry Bird, though technically when he was a GM he wasn't a coach anymore. I recalled him being excellent in both roles however.
I posted this here because of the props to Ime's coaching staff. Not often do the secondary coaches get much credit.
So you're telling me former NBA legend / Silas Assistant - Desagana Diop wasn't the reason Sengun turned into a superstar?
Considering that at least some still hold his extra-marital affairs against him, that is surprising to me.
It's so awesome having a coach who can inspire players to really buy in. This HAS to be a better way to build a team than giving the world to one insanely talented guy at the expense of the rest of the roster.
Ironically I think Westbrook would have been a better fit. I think Westbrook is more focused on getting his team involved and is a hard worker.
He's still lazy on defense and useless on offense without the ball. Neither would have fit this club.
As someone who was a Westbrook hater and a huge harden fan I hate to say it but I totally agree at this point
