Wow, must suck to be a Rocket fan. What a brutally incompetent move.
I'm trying to find a positive spin on this one, obviously h-town hasn't even started fiddling with their roster but I suppose if they can get the right pieces and Harden goes back to MVP form (likely under D'Antoni's perimeter oriented style), Houston will be a solid 4-5 seed in the West with a potential to upset any of the Top 4 teams.

man, that would be an all time low for him tbh, lol...this is pretty much a big "FU, and yeah, we left the door open for you" to Dwight.Ehh it's nothing new. Houston sports are an eternal joke. One thing can make it worse though, is if Dwight opts in
Finding a way to get Ryan Anderson should be priority number 1 as far as player personnel.
They'll be better than they were this year, IMO... 45-50 win range
How do they think they're going to be Golden State without Curry?
I mean look at Golden State right now with an 80% Curry.
IDK, but that is Leslie, not wanting to rebuild.How do they think they're going to be Golden State without Curry?

Rocketfan:
The Rockets plan to build a veteran staff around D'Antoni, which likely will include Memphis Grizzliesdefensive coordinator Jeff Bzdelik and Washington Wizards assistant Roy Rogers, league sources said. Toronto Raptors assistant Rex Kalamian, whom Harden is fond of from his Oklahoma City days, is another possible assistant, sources said.
I guess they knew Dwight was gone when they hired him, no way Dwight would p,ay under him again.Ehh it's nothing new. Houston sports are an eternal joke. One thing can make it worse though, is if Dwight opts in
A move that makes no sense whatsoever.
A man that has shown he can't take elite talent to the next level.
A man that has lost his locker room in every job, and the players just wanted him gone.
No D in D'Antoni WTF are they thinking?
All I can say is he must interview like a mother er..
He is one of the best at getting teams to pay him so he can sit home..
Oh yeah and this is sure improve on Harden's stellar defense..
Damn Houston ed up.. James Chucken is going to shoot more than ever.
I saw it coming but god damn Houston
I know people don't like three first names here but you can't over look his impact in the league. He made passing cool again and really provided a lot of European coaching influence. Pop most definitely copied from him.
Sure his defense sucked and his offense is way too PG dependent and it's all pick and roll and kick, but he still makes the top half of nba coaches.
The fit with rockets though is PG to run the system, maybe harden could be that role but he is too selfish for that. The defence will be worse than last year, which is already pretty bad. Dwight can't get in that system at all unless it's a harden Dwight pick and roll every time down the court. The rockets also don't seem to have enough shooters to run that system.
Overall, I think dantoni is a decent coach but a horrible fit.
There on their way to the Lakers path.
This won't end well.
LOL indeed.
Seriously, there wasn't some hot, up and coming assistant or some college hot shot that was available? I'm mildly surprised Kelvin Sampson didn't get the gig.
They'll be fine if they allow Mike to run the show unlike he could in either NY or LA.
Time to finally trade Tony Parker for the black Kevin Love, tbh.
You can say that again. Oh well, at least we're not the Bucks, Wizards, Kings or the Raptors...oh wait, aren't they a couple games from the NBA Finals with a roster full of former Rockets?
D'Antoni isn't a bad coach. I don't like the pairing with this roster. It'll be a frustrating team to watch for Rocket fans. They'll score in bunches and be a better team than last year. But players will be benched and alienated along the way. Houston doesn't have the roster to be real threat with a D'antoni system. Perhaps this move is designed to allow them to shed themselves of Dwight Howards contract and find a more small ball oriented center

Worst front office in the league? Nah but they are starting to make blunder after blunder and I don't trust in Morey nearly as much as I used to.
