Exactly. Although, Rockets are a lost cause right now. With Dwight leaving this summer and them building around Harden, it's not a very attractive job IMO.

 

 

Vogel known for defense and Harden known as THE matador. What could go wrong?

That OKC- San Antonio missed call was bad but SA still has to be kicking themselves since they got the steal and a good look.

The Rockets will continue to suck... they have a 6th man as their "star" player.

Yup. Harden is good enough offensively to keep them a borderline playoff team, but so horrible defensively that they'll never be a contender of any significance.

Rockets are in the lakers position a couple years ago, build around your superstar with ZERO other pieces.

This summer will probably be one of the more exciting off seasons since Lebron left the Heat.

Did anything even happen last off-season? Outside of the Jordan nonsense.

That was fun. I don't think so, besides the amazing draft.

Rumors of Lakers going after PG this summer according to Bill Simmons.

Yeah, for DR and a top 3 pick? 0% chance the Pacers would ever take that.

Russell

Clarkson

Brandon

Randle

Turner

 

if all those guys turned out to be studs (which could very well happen, who knows) that starting 5 line up would dominate the league. NOTE: Dominate the league when they are in their late 20's. so another 5-7 years.

 

It's a risk. But the Pacers ain't winning crap with Lebron in the East and the Warriors staying together.

No way this trade happens for either side imo. Don't see the Lakers giving up all of their promising young talent + a top 3 pick for 1 player, and I don't see the Pacers trading PG.

Looks like Vogel is out and McHale is in. Seems like a lateral move.

 

 

Good time for the Pacers to make changes to the uniforms, logo, and name. Throw some new paint on it.

McHale not being considered to replace Vogel, Bird quoted saying "I respect him too much to work for me"

I'm not a Pacers fan I just don't see why this is a bad move. Vogel hasn't gotten anything done, and I know it's not on him, but he's nothing special.

[IUfan_Charlie]

Please, for the sake of my sanity, stay away from Mark Jackson. Larry, I beg of you.

Huh. Vogel took them to the ECF twice. Won the division. Made the playoffs with PG and a bunch of scrubs and almost beat the 2 seed. Almost made the playoffs last season with George Hill as his best player. They're not making it out of the East with LeBron there. Don't know what Larry expects. Kerr, Pop, Spo, Carlisle, etc. Vogel is right near the top.

[Trish]

Only coaches Larry should go after should be Messina and Blatt. Everyone else... Nah. Maybe Nate though..

[OliviaPope40]

Bring home Brad Stevens.

East was ungodly weak when he went to ECF except for the team they couldn't get past, all the rest is useless, but you're right they aren't making it out of the east, so why keep Vogel. It doesn't matter if you do or don't but a change isn't a bad thing. And dear lord he is nowhere near those guys. They win championships.

I think a guy out of college wouldn't be bad, just to make some noise
