    It is a 3 year deal with a team option. You aren't going to hire a new HC with a one or two year deal, that's just putting immediate pressure on them.

    What's better than watching Corey Brewer brick a rushed corner three as the shot clock approaches zero? Watching Corey Brewer brick a three with more than 16 seconds left on the shot clock of course!

    I'd be ecstatic if Harden was surrounded by offensively gifted role players, but he's not so I cry

    The Rockets plan to build a veteran staff around D'Antoni, which likely will include Memphis Grizzlies defensive coordinator Jeff Bzdelik and Washington Wizards assistant Roy Rogers, league sources said. Toronto Raptors assistant Rex Kalamian, whom Harden is fond of from his Oklahoma City days, is another possible assistant, sources said.

    HC: D'Antoni

    Assistant Coaches:
    Jeff Bzdelik
    Roy Rogers
    Rex Kalamian

    Sounds like that's what were going with

    I guess it's good that the Rockets take away all hope for next season before the finals this season. It won't be like this year where people thought the team would do well for them to crap the bed, we'll go into next season expecting a lottery pick and we'll probably get it.

    I guess Leslie Alexander only cares about one person: himself. He doesn't care about championships. He doesn't care about the fan base either.

    So when D'Antoni flops as HC, we can demand for Les to sell the team? Or no one will show up to the Rockets games as long as he is owner and Pringles is coach? Lol.
