Not sure how I feel about this...

The Rockets view D'Antoni, the 76ers' associate head coach, as one of the preeminent experts in the style of fast-paced, spread offense they prefer, but will consider the staff he will assemble as a major consideration. The Rockets will look to add a coach that would run their defense, a major consideration to eventually choose D'Antoni.

This is a mistake that could finally end Morey's run in Houston

And are we expecting James Harden to turn into Steve Nash?

He's still gonna dribble for 15 seconds at the top of the key before his 4 hesitations and eventual drawing of the foul. All the while everyone else stands around with their fingers up their arse.

But I can't wait to hear how his PER ranks on a Tuesday in Milwaukee during the summer solstice.

Well, it's hard to tell if he sucks or not. Those Knicks and Lakers teams were just bad teams no matter who the coach was.

Those Suns teams, however, torched the league with their offense and were really good.

So who knows?

Word on the street is that Les Alexander, the owner, is the one who wants D'Antoni and Morey would prefer Van Gundy.

Morey wants Van Gundy, fwiw.

I could get behind it depending on what kind of staff he brings in.

Well he's taking over an average team so...

Would be a terrible hire.

This is a total New Orleans Pelicans move. Fire the guy that all the players like after an overachieving season and replace him with a retread head coach

That's what I've read too. In the end, Morey doesn't own the team.
