Hinkie trying to hire Chris Finch?

Oh?

That came out of nowhere.

 

Hypothetically, can a team say no when another FO asks to interview staff members?

 

Now I really hate the Sixers. Sam Hinkie must of made that move.

 

Morey didn't settle a no-poaching policy with Hinkie?

 

Wow. Hinkie is going to go full Morey-ball, something I think Morey probably wishes in some ways that he could have done.

The key is still to find superstars, no matter what. But this is interesting. So much for coach-in-wAiting.

 

WTF sixers...... After all the crap they were talking about the Rockets, analytics, and more ball. They start stealing the staff? They're now in my hated enemies list.

 

It's not "they." It was Doug Collins. No longer with the team.

 

What the hell???.... Have we become the new Spurs or something where half the league poaches everyone from the front office and coaching staff?

Seriously though, losing this guy would really hurt. He's going to end up being a top notch coach in the league one of these days.

Bima Thug- Better get your resume ready.... Morey's going to need your services here pretty soon if the poaching continues.

 

Thought this deserved its own thread.

Rockets front office under siege.

 

Morey needs to lock up McHale for more years before a team steals him.

 

nobody wants mchale?

Morey faints.

 

Well, Kevin McHale knows a Hall of Famer who wants a coaching job: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-b...ants-nba-coaching-job-may-181554889--nba.html

 

interview would be almost a formality, Finch has effectively been interviewing with Hinkie for years

 

Cr@p! We'll be out of coaches to rebound the balls come training camp.

 

Weren't there rumors that Finch was 'promised' the job or was being groomed for the position in a few years behind McHale? Not sure anyone expected McHale to stick and now that he got the Rockets to the playoffs for the first time in 3 years, it seems wrong to let him go....however, I don't think he's that cerebral of a coach and Finch by all accounts played a large role in orchestrating the run & gun paced offense, so losing him would definitely hurt.

Suffice it to say I hope he stays, losing him would suck

 

Let them go. McHale to. More room for the Van Gundy brothers.

 

if we got Dwight and hired the Super Van Gundy Bros...
