MDA is the right choice for Harden and Paul. Harden and Paul days are numbered can coach change with the team? We all have enjoyed the show but it’s over, now. We NEED to do the things that MDA doesn’t like to do. Stick with developing players and coach them into great role players. He is capable see Capela. The next few seasons are going to be like getting kicked in the teeth over and over is still MDA our man? The days of rolling the ball to center court and saying figure it out friends are over. We need someone who is a teacher but can also relate to Harden... a John Lucas type. Our own is cheap and MDA has time left on his contract so maybe he is our man after all.
The problem is, MDA recoils into the fetal position the moment he has to sacrifice anything. His job being on the line has made him give 0 ****s about the long term prospects of this team. Idiotic from management to do something that would predictably make him wear out the team's assets. Instead of the team telling him 4th seed is the minimum, they should be putting a hard cap on Harden and Paul's minutes. Results be damned. If we can't make the playoffs with Harden and Paul getting minor rest, then we are not beating the main contenders anyway. I'd rather have a non-exhausted Harden/Paul at 8th seed than a team with no gear to shift into at 4th seed. Team is a total mess and only money or tanking can fix it. Instead I'm sure they are passive-aggressively pointing fingers behind the scenes as was reported.
I'm not sure how much practice MCW is able to do with the short schedules of the long regular season. However, he is fit, unlike Knight. If he can pass, defend and attack the basket at an acceptable level with a rare jump shot, he could still be of some use before CP3 comes back.
