    Would gladly have paid half of the money to a competent coordinator on Offense though.

    It is not a bad situation for other teams as they have to get creative and find the Next Offensive Ime.

    Lacks the playfulness and empathy of Pop, I just heard Pop paid all medical fees of Dejounte's mother and behaved like a father.

    I hope he coaches here for over a decade and ushers in a real historic legacy.

    I just hope he attempts or the FO pushes him for developing players more

    Hoping if anything he puts Jabari back in the starting and Amen over Brooks at the 3

    Why do this now? Probably because the front office believes, correctly, that he's a draw for free agents, trade targets, and current Rockets who are considering whether to stay and for how much.

    I was expecting this. If anything Ime now has the more power to tell the FO to go f*ck themselves if they don’t like his rotations. Why we insist on paying guys more before their contract is up is beyond me. Looking forward to another couple of years of watching FVV dribble around the logo.

    They already got 2nd seed. Not sure why everybody acts like the Rox are a project team or something.

    Because the Knicks wanted to offer him 80 million and he said wait a minute

    Until they get past the first round of the playoffs they are a project team, like every other team that fails in the postseason.

    Yao and Tmac never got to the second round together here.

    We were spoiled by Harden's greatness and everyone acts like he's a choker.

    I for the life of me can’t understand some posters in here being upset about this. Dude took a lottery team to the second seed in one year.

    People always think there’s something better, until they end up with Silas again or someone like him.

    it's because there isn't a coach in the world who is going to make every decision that every person would want them to make.

    Just because he's stubborn about never pulling Fred and overplaying Dillon Brooks doesn't mean the guy hasn't forgotten more about basketball than this entire place knows combined. These NBA coaches are so elite at what they do.

    Maybe he should actually prove to be a draw for free agents, trade targets before you make such a claim. Looks like to me we are just going to run it backq
    Yep and I wasn’t satisfied with that either. Are you satisfied if we don’t get past the first round next year. I loved the Harden year’s. We were the 2nd best team that whole era, maybe the best if you factor the NBA’s corruption into the equation.
