    It doesn't make sense to pick a old retread coach and pair him with a young GM. Adelman will be around for up to 4 years and at that time he will be 64 freaking years old and we'll be on the search again.

    It's time for the Rockets to make a bold statement and select a young and upcomming coach so that Morey and the new coach can grow toghether. Just like CD and Rudy who had a great relationship.

    Les doesn't want to experience the growing pains, which we are going to go through since the NBA is changing to a more athletic and shooting personnel. We have way too many role players to become successful.

    Rick's first request is remove Jake, Deke, Juwan, and Luther from the roster. I'm hoping someone is willing to trade for Juwan's expiring contract.

    It makes perfect sense cause most coaches these days don't last more than 4 years anyways. The days of a sloan/popovich coaching run are long over.

    Actually it makes perfect sense, a veteran head coach with a young and upcoming assistant who will be ready to take over the reins in about 4 years.

    :cool:

    Why is this board always so d*** pessimistic. :rolleyes:
