    At this point i'd throw them Ariza and KJ too to see if they can trade Winslow...but yeah, that's not gonna happen for more and obvious reasons.

    Dantoni is not the answer.

    I thin Jonathan Feigen is usually right on his information. Hes been in the chronicle for ever, and wouldnt doubt that his sources are actually Daryl Morey and other that are involved in the process.. (Well atleast i cross my fingers hes accurate this time)

    Why would a team that needs discipline/ defense even be looking at Datoni (It just doesnt make sense)

    I also believe Feigen over Stein.

    Mark Stein is the E!SPN mouth piece for the NBA and will be pushing the BSPN agenda (bash the Rockets)

    D'Antoni may have been contacted again but hopefully for the Assistant position

    If Mauri hires D'Antoni, that should be the last of this over-rated fat number crunching geek.

    He has made enough mistakes in the coaching department alone to set us back plenty.

    I'd agree but it sounds like it's Les' call, which is annoying.

    So why do you still think it would be a Morey move, when all info seems to point to him actually wanting JVG?

    I disagree. DHo after an opt-in would command plenty of grade attention. But, would any be good trade ops?

    Absolutely, I have no evidence or words from Les to believe otherwise. I don't go by the words of the Mauri fanboys here.

    Mauri let go Adelman, Mauri hired McFail, Mauri asked JBB to finish out the season and Mauri will be responsible for the next coaching hire.

    He was also peeved at JVG's public churlishness and refusal to be the 'face' of the Rox as coach. Yet, RA refused, too. KMc? Not so much.

    Does Owner Alexei actually have a clue? Must be fun for DM the GM to navigate that part of the team's decision making.

    Does he still have that 'it' with the players? I really am not so sure.
