Calvin mutha****in murphy On the real tho , some of the other ex-rockets would be exciting . Not sure if they are anywhere near as good as MDA given both Cassell and Elie are inexperienced , but it would be exciting .
He was interviewed as a possible addition several times in the past. I do not know if they have interviewed him this off season or not. He is someone I think he is a strong candidate so it is possible he is added.
Morey has hinted before that coaching doesn't really matter that much in the NBA. Steve Kerr and Mike Budenholzer would disagree. Kerr took a team who's ceiling was the second round and turned them into a dynasty. Do you think that it's a coincidence the warriors went from dead last In assists under mark Jackson to first in Kerr's first season? Budenholzer took the bucks from an 8th seed to the best record in the nba with essentially the same roster Jason kidd had.
I say Thibs. He can make our team an elite defensive team. He also has won a championship as an assistant with the celtics. Thibs should be our new DC. Of course we would have go get some more defensive players that can also score. Oh yeah and another star. But yeah
