    Friend politics ruining a franchise, thanks Harden! Don’t want to hear anymore excuses for the bearded freak show if Lucas becomes our head coach.

    JVG was like F___ this team! It's a disaster and I'm not putting my name on his dumpster fire.

    Defining day for this franchise if Lucas is hired.

    Lol Tilman having a fantastic offseason. Gets out of Morey's contract without having to replace him, avoids paying MDA to perhaps promote a development coach.

    Looking forward to us ducking LT again by trading off a player with a pick (Anderson, Knight, Clint, Gordon?) and avoiding the use of our MLE again.

    Wonder why Morey jumped ship.

    Something tells me Lucas is going to be the lowest paid head coach next season.

    He's probably willing to do it pro bono. He's a charitable man and Tilman is broke.

    If Jeff was the favorite, it never made sense for Morey to leave (if reports are true that they're close friends). The timing of this Lucas news after Morey's departure is all too fitting

    Tilman listens to his star players and hires a coach they all want = Tilman is cheap my god he is ruining the team this is all his cheap a$& fault.

    Tilman doesn’t listen to his star players and hires somebody different = Why would he hire a coach James and Russ don’t want omg what a dumb a$$ owner we have...James should ask for a trade.

    Smh...what have I been telling you damned if he does damned if he don’t.

    If we hire Lucas this has James Harden written all over it. And nothing to do with Tilman.

    James
    Hard practices - yeah right
    Defense first - pssh please
    Off ball movement - no thank you

    Let’s hire Lucas and keep doing more of the same.

    Maybe James Harden needs to "step down" as GM as well.

    It matters to me too....like Lucas the person, hate the pick of the cheap guy on the payroll with a losing record. Fon’t forget all assistants will be retained. Same coaching staff minus MDA. Not the major changes we needed. Great for Tilman though. Remove the two largest management charges and keep all else the same. Make players and new cheap GM happy. Win-win for everyone but the fans.

    I can coach this team to a 2nd round exit.

    How?

    If they're all healthy, run the exact same offense (lol, what offense), and the exact same defense.

    Real question... will Lucas do anything different?

    Lucas, JVG... yuck...

    That is not a good thing. We need to hire someone new and fresh that hasn't been a part of the organization that can bring in some fresh and new ideas, a new philosophy if you will. I hope they pass on him.

    That's a new one. I always heard and was reading the opposite that Morey was wanting JVG.

    LMFAO.

    A few weeks ago I said the Rockets gave him the interview was due to the politically correct minority rule and that upset many morons here kept arguing he is a great coach and mentor for Harden.

    When the reality hit, now y'all are crying and tripping.

    Still letting James Harden run the show, I see...

    We are truly shaping up to be the Knicks
