No!! Wanted the Rockets to hire him. He wouldn't give them the time of day. Kinda surprised he [might be/is] leaving.
He'll be a great hire for ATL, and with over 35 mil in cap space and the option to negotiate to bring back Josh Smith or let him go, he's in a great situation. Also, J.R., I couldn't reply to your message, but yeah that's me over on LG. Some of those people are delirious.
Didn't know teams could be in 'serious discussions" with assistants for head coaching jobs while their current team was in the playoffs. Plus I thought he was HC in waiting.
Spurs have allowed the Hawks to negotiate with MB. And yeah, I thought he was going to stay too. I guess Ferry lured him over?
He has spoken to a couple of teams this off season. In the past it was not just the Rockets he turned down, but a number of teams. My guess is that over the last few years he has decided that he will never get the shot to replace Popovich, or the situation at home has changed and he is free to look for a head coaching job elsewhere.
He worked with Ferry when they were with the Spurs. Great hire. I'm also happy that this hire doesn't increase their chances of landing Dwight and/or Paul.
What I don't understand is why do teams interview coaches when they busy assisting, coaching in the playoffs??????? Do they seriously like to ruin other teams hopes? Why? Why can they just wait when is officially off season?
Who's worse, the guy that makes no jokes and critiques the guy thy try's, or the guy that makes an attempt? Haha Jk, you have some solid posts.
Man, I was gonna say.... I'm like the funniest guy on here. I'm funnier than Bill O'reilly and John Holmes put together. Anyway, I think we're still cool because of the Jk included in your post.
