    The man is worth like 4-6 billion dollars and has a history of paying coaches to not coach at UH.

    We will find out soon. The biggest clue will be if he accidentally finds himself under the luxury tax threshold again or not.

    So Rockets believe Mike Dantoni can bring a championship with his impressive coaching skills?

    or

    Rockets give up championship already and only want to sell tickets?

    Lol.

    Probably realized you can’t get any good assistants without a coach here longer than a year on his contract.

    Tilman borrowing money from Money Tree to help pay for D'antoni's contract.

    CF faints learning that Pringles is here to stay for the next 5 years.

    I think it's a waste for D'Antoni to be the Rockets' head coach, we pretty much use iso ball nearly every possession and it takes away from Mike's ability to run a fluid offense between the whole basketball team. Harden has shown he's a pretty darn complete offensive player with the ball, but can he improve this off season to becoming a great offensive player off the ball?

    So much for “trying to make him quit”

    Owner wants to set a “culture” of needing to earn it every year. Just doesn’t realize you can’t do it with coaching contracts because ancillary issues

    TillMan: "Darnell, how goes the search for top-notch assistant coaches?"

    Murrhey: "Terribly. Nobody wants to come here just to be replaced when you replace the entire staff next summer."

    TillMan: "Well ****. I guess Pringles wins this round."

    We isolated on 22% of our possessions this season.

    22% doesn’t equal pretty much, nearly every possession.

    Leave the lazy inaccurate analysis to the Stephen Jacksons of the world.

    Fertitta and Rockets general manager Daryl Morey visited D'Antoni at his offseason home in West Virginia this week to smooth over any hard feelings. LeGarie was not part of those discussions and told ESPN that a deal still needs to be worked out through him.

    "Did Mike speak to those guys down there? Yes, he did," LeGarie told ESPN. "As always, they asked Mike what he thought, and Mike said, 'Sounds great, but talk to Warren.' Mike's job is coaching, and he leaves the negotiating to me.

    "Mike is always affable with everybody out there, not trying to raise the rancor in a situation clearly gone astray."

    After the previous talks ended, Fertitta told reporters during a hastily arranged media availability that the offer to D'Antoni was a one-year extension with a $5 million base salary plus $4 million in incentives for advancing in the playoffs.

    However, the original offer included only $2.5 million in guaranteed money, due to a buyout in case the Rockets fired D'Antoni before the end of the season, or if they did not make the playoffs and terminated him after the season.
