    Lucas isn't equivalent to promoting a Nurse as we saw in Toronto. HE IS A 66 YEAR OLD DEVELOPMENT COACH. Maybe his skillset is best used to develop people as men and as players, he doesn't need to hold the clip board to do that.

    Tilman owns the team. It's on him to rein in his player's bad decisions or hire someone that will do so with tact, like you know, Daryl Morey. Unfortunately, good employees are running away from him.

    It's Harden controlling the decision making process and Tilman loving it.

    Harden is happy and Lucas is probably working for health insurance and a dining at Landry's stipend.

    Negative.

    This all started WAY before Tilman.

    Morey is the one to blame for Harden having full control.

    And Tilman is in a rough spot because if he says to James that he’s not going to have the control he had before and James gets his feelings hurt and demands to be traded people will blame Tilman for running off James.

    This whole mess we are in is because of Morey and James.

    We came close to winning the championship but we ultimately didn’t. And now it’s time for a fresh start enter Tilman.

    But I guess he still wants to cater to James by hiring Lucas but once this all comes crashing down Tilman will blow it up as he should.

    There’s no holdup....just not a rush to announce as there are zero other teams going after Lucas or anyone on the existing staff.

    Well he is right about one thing, finally. I am indeed a fraud.

    Tillman does not have to listen to him and Harden has given no indication that he would leave if either of these moves were not made.

    Paul Silas as head coach could still have John Lucas as a top assistant coach, but we know this is about broke-ass Tilman's bottom line.

    The longer the Rockets take, the more they SAVE MONEY day by day by not inking a coach. #TilmanEra

    He's right a lot, he's just a douche about it. His source is legit, he's not. Maybe he's like Harden's black sheep cousin or something.

    I can tell you he is spot on. Lucas will be announced soon.

    If he was to do what he truly wants and the then James demands a trade y’all will blame him for running off James.

    Yeah I don't doubt that at all. His source really won me over after that Burks trade. There were no rumours and he broke it a good half hour before the others. But watch him tweet "GIVE ME MY DAMN RESPECT " like a 15 year old after this becomes official. Makes me wonder what kind of relationship he has with the source. Maybe he's some agent's kid or something.

    Not publicly but I’m sure privately.

    It’s like a spoiled brat who’s been spoiled his whole life then comes a disciplinarian figure it’s hard to break those spoiled habits from the kid.

    No, I would not. I dont believe he gave Morey an ultimatum like that either.
