    Dantoni hasn't even coached in the nba finals series. Good coach but just hasn't been to the mountain top.

    Man, we need to get rid of this old garbage and start the rebuilding process again. These players have been together for a few years now and we still haven't gotten the prize yet. Trade Harden and bring in some good pics that can actually shoot the ball, mainly the 3 point shot. Let's not approach this thing from an emotional stand point, but from a business perspective. We are overdue for a championship to this city, and we need to start preparing again for one real soon. Fans are getting fed up with these disappointing seasons and the way they're ending. If this means getting rid of Morey and Harden, so be it. We as a team have become too predictable when it comes to James Harden and what he's doing out there on the court. We need to move away from this guy. MDA was the best thing to happen to Houston when he decided to move on from the organization. James need to do likewise and take his talents somewhere else. We need a serious change here, and what we presently have, it's just not working.

    I can remember a version of this post when Hakeen was being shopped.

    And in Dallas with Dirk.

    winning with James is going to feel so good.

    Who said it was about getting a trophy?

    What are you babbling about?

    A team or a person can be successful without winning the whole thing, I see you just want to rag on Dantoni and are using a really stupid argument to make a point.

    So Charles Barkley, John Stockton and Yao Ming were not successful?

    How can a trade take us down a notch from contenders but extend our window?

    How does that make sense?

    What the hell has Thybulle done, his team almost got swept in the 1st round.

    So do think he has been a successful coach overall?

    How could it not?

    two stars that are 5 years younger. Right now the team’s window is two seasons, after that, Russ' and James' contracts expire. A window is an opportunity not a guarantee.

    I think with the right moves the Rockets will be better in 2020/21 than this past season and they will improve while keeping the core of Harden, Russ and Covington. I don’t see any of those guys being moved and I'd be surprised to see PJ moved (only would be moved because of his contract situation). I’m not advocating trading the best player this team has had in two decades, I'm just saying what it should take if Harden wants out and he wants to go to Philadelphia. I want every asset they have and I want them to take on Russell Westbrook's contract.

    Thybulle was a rookie and already was the best perimeter defender on his team. Stop.

    I post a nuanced idea with four options, you focus on one. None of them are going to happen, it’s purely for discussion. You act like I’m in the front office making decisions. You bring nothing to the table with your dismissive attitude.

    You actually think nuanced idea and four options make a difference.

    Ha!

    Continue on.

    What does this add to a discussion on a forum for discussion? Someone with Nicolas Cage as Superman as their avatar should bring more to the table than this.

    Sometimes not responding to every post is a good idea, I should probably take my own advice and not respond to your drivel.

    Thanks to a certain Robert Horry bodycheck and a CP3 hamstring, unfortunately.

    Season wise I see him as a successful coach. Playoffs he's a average one.

    Sucks.

    Then at the end of the day winners give you and focus on reasons why they could while losers give you and focus on excuses why they couldn't.

    76ers also have *4* 2nd round picks in this upcoming draft, including 2 premium high ones. I'd try to snag 1 of those

    I agree with you. The Rockets need to cut some of the dead wood off the end of their roster, perk up and prioritize their player development and try to get a draft pick or two. The Rockets haven't drafted poorly, they just have seldom kept their draft picks.

    I agree with this but the other poster was saying he was not a successful coach because he had not won a championship.
