    Do we have some hard-playing players for whom Orlando might overpay in a trade?

    Does the Magic owner have mental health issues? McHale style ball stopped working in the 90s.

    He is one of the best tanking coaches one can hire. That is why he was here but the team wouldn't die. Works well with young talent and keeps the locker room somewhat healthy. Every coach has their thing--> high lottery picks is his.

    One of the best moves the Rockets made in a while by getting rid of this idiot. Look nice guy, but dumb as a rock when it came to making in game in rapid time adjustments.

    McHale was trying too hard to keep his job and knew he couldn't push plays and catered to Harden. The 80s were rigged, no doubt, but not to this degree where players have no integrity and go along with what the league and team owner want as long as they cash a check and or receive a bonus for their compliance. Meanwhile fans are invested into the integrity and strive for their team to win almost all for nothing.

    He simply couldn’t coach. Anthony Carter knows best.

    https://www.slamonline.com/nba/tales-of-kevin-mchales-hilarious-coaching/

    “It was a learning experience,” said Carter. “He didn’t really know all the X’s and O’s, but he had a good assistant coaching staff that was helping him out with a lot of plays. He kind of let us run whatever we wanted.”

    “He was trying to draw plays, and it was like a little Etch and Sketch. Like a kid just messing around… He just gave the clipboard to the assistant coaches sometimes.”
