@  slick shoes : (23 November 2015 - 07:15 PM) I think that is the worst part about our season thus far. We fired a guy who had little to do with the problem instead of addressing the real issue of team chemistry which is becoming more and more apparent. I don't think anyone is on the same page as anyone else.
@  cointurtlemoose : (21 November 2015 - 06:39 AM) McHale might not have been a great coach, but he definitely was NOT the problem with this team...
@  majik19 : (21 November 2015 - 02:31 AM) our team is just embarassing
@  cointurtlemoose : (19 November 2015 - 07:11 AM) That was the most Corey Brewer thing I have ever seen
@  majik19 : (19 November 2015 - 04:20 AM) how the hell did that happen? maybe just switching from McHale to JB will change our bad luck...
@  Willk : (19 November 2015 - 03:58 AM) in my face
@  bboley24 : (19 November 2015 - 03:55 AM) So that just happened
@  Cooper : (19 November 2015 - 03:53 AM) got the win
@  Willk : (19 November 2015 - 02:06 AM) fire McHale! playing like crap again
@  SadLakerFan : (18 November 2015 - 06:21 PM) It's unfair, but it's the right move because it's the only move major move they had available to them. But, it seems just a tad premature - I wonder what was really said in the player meeting.
@  majik19 : (18 November 2015 - 06:03 PM) So much for building off continuity now that the core is in place... It's probably about time for another "Morey's Plan" article from Rahat.
@  txtdo1411 : (18 November 2015 - 05:26 PM) No problem. He definitely made it clear that changes will continue to be made until we are winning again.
@  cointurtlemoose : (18 November 2015 - 05:19 PM) Thanks for the link, txtdo; good words from Morey, I thought
@  cointurtlemoose : (18 November 2015 - 05:14 PM) Wow, I expected this 6 or 7 games from now if things didn't change... This seems a tad early. And they better have a replacement actually in mind and ready to hire, otherwise this seems like a misguided move
@  txtdo1411 : (18 November 2015 - 05:13 PM) Its going on right now.
@  txtdo1411 : (18 November 2015 - 05:13 PM) http://api.viglink.c...9&title=Rockets Press Conference 11am - ClutchFans&txt=http://www.khou.com/videos/news/loca...7/29/12651418/
@  slick shoes : (18 November 2015 - 05:12 PM) Anyone know where to listen in to the DM press conference?
@  DenverRocket : (18 November 2015 - 04:50 PM) Shocked too, but then again not. Something had to give. I can't see JB being given the reins f/t. Surely they have a contingency? Thibs?
@  txtdo1411 : (18 November 2015 - 04:48 PM) I wonder if the plan is to find a replacement fairly quickly, or to give JB a shot. I'm trying to understand how things would change, since JB has been in the locker room all year. The players are going to give him effort now just because McHale is gone?
@  majik19 : (18 November 2015 - 04:22 PM) just shocked. I feel like this is now a lost season. We were struggling under McHale, but do we really think J.B. can lead us to a championship?

      I don't feel like tracking down the quote (it was in the chronicle, I think), but Parsons himself said that Morey told him to do what was best for him and go get as big of a contract as possible.  They had a nice talk before he signed anything--Parsons, Fegan, and Morey.  I don't for one second believe anyone got blind-sided except that Cuban made a savvy move (that may have hamstrung his own team) to pry Parsons away from Houston.  Parsons had to let his agent read that thing first before signing it.  He knew what it meant to have those kickers, etc. in there.  Surely, he had to suspect that signing it might mean his departure.  If not, well.... :unsure:


      Parsons agent probably had his attorney write the poison pill contract, so it was Cuban and his attorneys that likely agreed to go for it..........

      For sure, it wasn't just about the money. Parsons contract was all but impossible for the Rockets to trade later if things didn't work out.

      Short term, Morey is being thrown under the bus. What if Parsons turns out to be a total (or even partial) bust in Dallas? Good luck trying to move his contract especially with the Player Option in Year 3 at $16 Million....

      I'm kind of hoping for this as much as I hate to admit it.

        Don't forget that:

        Dirk will be 37-38 1 year from now........

        And Tyson Chandler is not getting any younger or healthier..........

        And Monte Ellis will all but likely opt out of his contract after the upcoming season for a bigger payday...........

        All is not good in Mavericks Nation although they stole Parsons.

        Jesus H. Christ! Can he really be that old? Kobe needs to relinquish his claim to "Vino".
