    Why is he taking so long to sign with NY?

    Maybe it's taking so long because as part of the deal, Morey is insisting Vogel hire Royce White on as the team bus driver.

    Maybe JVG has been the Rockets number one target from the very beginning. But, JVG wants to wait until he's through with his announcing duties before taking the job. Meanwhile, the Rockets get to sit down and have a nice conversation with everyone that is unemployed, and who knows, maybe one or more of them will come on board as an assistant.

    It would be nice, if Shaka Smart were up for it, maybe to schedule a secret meeting to see what Smart could bring to the table.

    That's actually a very well thought out and logical explanation for the current situation. Puts us a month out, but why does that matter? Nothing happens again until the draft.

    I've been wondering if possibly there is some contract issue as well with him announcing the playoffs on ESPN. Maybe he has to wait until the season is over to break the contract. Same issue may be in place for Kenny Smith.

    Maybe JVG is just waiting to make sure Dwight is gone... :grin:

    I still can't get over it; Kenny Freaking Smith? And "I got bullied by Lebron" Blatt?

    Scott Skiles out:

    Thibodeau and Joerger are already off the market. What is he waiting for? Another bad strategy. I think it's time to consider the continuity of Morey!

    Would be interesting to know why he's leaving...maybe someone contacted him, Pacers or Grizzlies?

    If this is Morey's definition of moving fast, we are in for a long summer.

    Skiles grates on an organization. Granted, he resigned this time, he wasn't fired; but his personal license plates probably read "2-N-TENSE".
