    At this point Ime should just take over all basketball operations for the Rockets. He should be the GM and coach.

    Knowing his archetype, I think he is probably already planning this.

    Good, it will at least keep Stone on his toes.

    If it means Ime is the GM, I'm down.

    There’s no more AAU ball being played in Houston.

    As good a coach as Ime clearly is, has the coach/GM model ever worked?

    Maybe Larry Bird, though technically when he was a GM he wasn't a coach anymore. I recalled him being excellent in both roles however.

    I posted this here because of the props to Ime's coaching staff.
    Not often do the secondary coaches get much credit.

    So you're telling me former NBA legend / Silas Assistant - Desagana Diop wasn't the reason Sengun turned into a superstar?

    Considering that at least some still hold his extra-marital affairs against him, that is surprising to me.

    It's so awesome having a coach who can inspire players to really buy in. This HAS to be a better way to build a team than giving the world to one insanely talented guy at the expense of the rest of the roster.

    Hindsight is what it is there’s no way harden would have fit on this team

    Ironically I think Westbrook would have been a better fit. I think Westbrook is more focused on getting his team involved and is a hard worker.

    He's still lazy on defense and useless on offense without the ball. Neither would have fit this club.

    As someone who was a Westbrook hater and a huge harden fan I hate to say it but I totally agree at this point
