[Feigen] Nate McMillan and Jeff Hornacek in discussion to join the staff.

Weaver is a very good defensive coach.

I understand concern that he hasn’t done it at the NBA level, but who is still out there that is available?

FWIW all the best defensive wrinkles are coming from the G League and some from Europe.

 

Bzdelik?

Erman?

 

The chance of Fertitta wanting Bzdelik back is close to zero.

Erman is possible if he wants to be an assistant, he supposedly likes head coaching in the G League.

The Rockets should offer the job to Nate Reinking; he is the best option available.

 

horny, stockton, or harpring please.

 

They will only cheat and flop/kick. This stuff doesn't work as much in the current NBA as in the 90's-00's. I don't trust Utah Jazz men. They hate Houston and will act like Trojan horses. Scott Padgett was different, he pointed out their cheating methods once he left them. Nothing against Shandon Anderson either, he was a poor fit into the system in Houston. All these other guys and Karla are something else.

 

Reinking is interesting.

What about Fizdale? He should know defense since he worked for Spoelstra, right?

 

I strongly support hiring Nate Reinking, but only if his name is pronounced "reign-king."

 

So Mcmillan and Turner, who've PROVEN they can run nba defense aren't good enough for you. But this NOBODY that hasn't done anything has your stamp of approval? I give up

 

No one is still out there lol. I was hoping for cheeks but the rockets prioritized Lucas last week to keep harden happy.

the bridge is probably burnt with bzdelik. Erman is out there but probably off the radar.


the other issue is now Lucas is the top assistant so whoever we bring in will be the second assistant. can't offer them the AHC title.

 

Turner is still available as well.

So is Fizdale.

And Mike Miller.

And JVG.

 

Lucas is the top assistant. the next hire will not only be in the 3rd chair but also paid accordingly. I don't see JVG or Fizdale doing that. I'm not even sure turner would move from #2 to #3 on the same team. he'd probably rather take a 3rd chair on another team first. most teams probably pay more anyway.

Mike Miller is an interesting one. I think he was a G-league COY? the Knicks defense improved with him as interim. I don't know much about him.

 

You can have co-first assistants.

Lakers did last season.

 

It feels like the 76ers/Nets/Clippers all signed like 4+ assistant coaches within a week of the HC announcement, wtf are we doing?

 

Being Houston...

 

Has OKC even hired HC yet?

 

Can we also get Carlos Boozer?

 

Patrick needs to put his foot down and bring back Bzdelik.

He has to channel his inner Jared Kushner. If a real estate broker can negotiate peace in the middle east the Patrick can surely mend the fences with Bzdelik.

Show me the MOREY Patrick!!!
