after the trade deadline passes, what should our top priority be?

isnt rick considering retirement?

 

What is your deal? Your obsession with Adelman is downright creepy.

 

Do not want.

 

I would rather be sodomized with an umbrella than EVER see Rick the RULER leading a rebuilding team. And I am sure he feels the same way.

 

this x100000000

 

Our priority should be find the next face o the franchise via draft/FA/trade.

 

The guy has a point in we arent gonna get a much better coach then RA.....Whose a better coach out there on the sideline that would want to come here to coach a mediocre team?

JVG? (yea rite)
Hubie Brown (too old, but good)
larry Brown (nah too old and likes to move around)
Elson Turner (interesting, but no HC experience)
Mario Elie since radio station been talking bout it (no HC exp)

Not sure who else is out there.....

RA is a very good caoch....we just have decent role players and lost our 2 superstars in TMAC and Yao to injury. Cant bash Morey bc superstars like to go to the glamour cities like LA, NY, Miami, Chi......

 

mass suicide

 

I'm fairly certain Rick will take some time off. It just feels like last season and this season have drained him, especially with the expectation everyone had when he was signed.

The two biggest things the Rockets need to do is find an Assistant coach who is a staunch defensive guru, and get their trainers to either copy of steal the secrets used in Phoenix to prevent major players from getting injured all the time.

 

If we're rebuilding, chances are Adelman will not wanna go through a rebuilding process. He would probably rather go to a job that has a chance to contend, or just retire.

With that said, I would really like to see either Mario Elie or Elston Turner as the next head coach. If I'm not mistaken, Elie interviewed for the head coaching job after JVG was let go, but Adelman was chosen over him (and rightfully so) and Turner has been looking for a HC job as well.

 

More trades in the offseason to improve our roster, maybe trade some of our assets to move up in the draft for a star........bring back jeff van gundy

 

start with playing some D

 

It could be time for the Ban.

 

Player-coach Shane Battier
resign Chuck
Try and deal assets for Granger/paul/love etc.

 

My take is this

-First off, new CBA will most likely make Houston a much more attractive place to either be drafted or to play in as a free agent. With the amount of flexibilty they will have financially, and NO STATE TAX, it wont be a long wait for Houston to get back in the playoff picture. Still might take a couple more seasons, but doesn't it always.

-Coaching decision/change - If Adelman wants to come back, Im sure the front office/Les will be open to resigning him if he's up for it. If there are doubts, then it might be a mutual decision to start fresh. Most likely coach will not be high profile, and will come from out of the blue, but will be a good one. I just dont see Houston as the kind of franchise that would give the keys to a coach that has been recycled around the NBA very much.

-Draft big. look for this team to be very aggressive in making moves for the 2012 draft. I wouldnt be surprised if they took a player with upside this upcoming draft, and most likely will look at one of the couple of Euro big men(Donatas, Jan Vessely, etc.) out there. If there is a lockout, those Euro's have a major benefit of being able to develop another season overseas. The 2012 draft should be a pretty deep draft as well.

 

Should be to make the playoffs.

 

OP needs to stop trolling.


Is this the guy who had the Resilient Rick thread last night?

 

I will get the LUBE :grin:

 

how about we wait and see what happens today first? It's like asking what direction to take without knowing what deals may go through...
