    He’s been an assistant for how long now? It has to have been at least 15 years

    we already hired a forever assistant in Silas, and we saw how that turned out

    I’m good on Sam Cassell, Kenny Smith, etc

    CP3 would be 2x the a$$h01e Ime is... this group of Rockets is just too brittle and snowflakey.

    Mario Elie has also been an assistant for years. Bring Mario in as head coach and Sam as assistant with Horry as special shooting coach. I would trust Mario over any of the others except Scott Brooks.

    Stop it. Ime is going nowhere. They're just going to hire an associate head coach to run the offense so he can devote 100% of his time to glowering.

    Cassell would be a solid coach but does he have the balls to win it all?

    We should go after Mike Malone. May be give him high enough money to be offensive assistant coach if you want to give 1 more year to Udoka.

    If an ex Rocket is going to be coach then it should be D-MO.

    Hard pass on CP3. That dude would be like Mark Jackson, talking **** about some players to other players.

    We don't know shet what CP3 would do as a coach but from his resume, CP3 was a 2 way player.

    Yes, he prefers Defense but his Offense was more than adequate unlike Ime's playing career.

    We will see how his CP3 Junior does, if his son does well, means he is good at developing.

    Kenny Smith has never been an assistant coach. Lakers hired Reddick with zero coaching experience. Besides what does he have to do with Sam Cassel?

    He would tell players: “I can’t tell you anything that’s happening out there on that court, but I can tell you’re all terrible and just suck at basketball-alright now let’s run some suicides get there!”

    whitmore will be out the league, so he will be good for player development.
