Click here to view the TweetI've read that the owner wanted to
another season and Morey wanted a complete purge. I guess this move was sort of a compromise. I'm thinking the Rockets should consider changing the GM position too.
For me, when the owner and GM are not on the same page, it's a cluster.
Who keeps a head coach and fires his assistants?
This has become a joke. Just buy
out.https://theathletic.com/996950/2019/05/2...
The Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans have pursued Tyronn Lue for a lead assistant role, but he remains focused on a return to the NBA in a head coaching role.

Lue won a chip as a role player.
Since he was tied to Lebron his "championship coach" pedigree might be bit tainted.
I think Lue is underrated. I think there are people out there that think he undercut Blatt, along with LeBron. I don't know about that. But if Houston brings Lue, it's to replace . Similar to what we did with Woodson and .

I don't understand why these guys are panicking do much. I'm not a fan of
by a Longshot, but More is the guy who killed there wing depth from last season. They were close last year and then they went into desperation mode. The Melo move was the first step into desperation and it's continuing.

Harden has yet to erase the doubts about his ability in the clutch, going back to OKC. That should worry Houston more than anything else, since the offense is geared almost entirely around him
I give credit to D'Antoni for changing his coaching philosophy instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Believe he went too far when he gave Harden the freedom to spend so much of the clock dribbling. Paul didnt like that. He has his issues as a teammate (according to some articles) but I tend to agree that letting Harden dominate the ball in the playoffs is eventually bound to fail.
Cant be just Harden and a bunch of glorified backup singers. Thats why Paul probably lost it.

I don't know, I never liked that roster last year even when they were doing well. They look like they've peaked and are about to get into trouble- CP3's contract is horrific (he really took a step down this year and he's still got 3 more years at over $44mil per), and unmovable, so that really only leaves them Gordon's (also declined this year) contract and Capella's. Oh and Tucker's. They have nothing else, they traded away this years first rounder to save money and their owner is ultra cheap. In fact I suspect they're trying to get D'Antoni to quit (rather than just out and out fire him) so they don't have to pay next years salary.

problem is how do they add fresh talent? Their owner doesn't want to pay the luxury tax, they're over the cap, and even if they did shift the salary of Capella or Gordon, who honestly wants to play with Harden?- they'd never see the ball.
is delayed as he might not want to do a rebuild. I think they maxed out the talent and extracted a great deal from harden. This team hit the wall and likely can’t go further. Paul is a misery and a good fit for the lakers. Just give him away. Anything more is a bonus.
Capella is expensive luxury and might be injury prone. Harden might yield you great riches in return.
If they don’t seize the moment that team becomes a big problem down the road. Paul’s contract is insane.
If league wants to do these contracts it should not count as full against the cap.
I’m thinking if league wants players to really stay, supermax deals need to have a cap discount. Charlotte could keep Kemba but its the tax and prohibitive to add players for them to do both. Its crazy to think a team can benefit with 34 year olds making 50million.
