Today they let Irv Roland go. He is the Player development coach that has worked almost exclusively with Harden for the past few years. They are very very tight.

He has also worked with PJ Tucker and CP3.

They’ve also let go of Rogers (Assistant Coach), Vanya (special assistant), Cho (video coordinator) and Bzdelik (assistant coach - defense).

My point here is that a guy like Roland is really well respected and had done very good work there. Despite how any of us feel about Harden he’d be by all accounts a great get to work with say, Zion.

And something odd seems to be happening in Houston.

They are trying to force Mike D'Antoni out. Won't be surprised if Harden is moved either. Maybe they wanna do a rebuild?

It seems like it’s an over reaction to them not making the Finals again. When you look at Tillman’s postgame reaction to the series loss and now their recent moves, it seems they’re trying to shake up the organization to get over the Warrior hump.

Tilmann leveraged his arse off and has to service his debt. He is cutting costs like crazy.

Sounds like a bunch of opportunities for us to build up our front office.

The narrative going right now is Morey never wanted D’Antoni, still doesn’t.

The owner picked up his contract for next season.

Which obviously isn’t sitting well with D’Antoni.

So Morey is doing the next thing he can do, fire the assistants and bring in people he likes.

Watching this power struggle unfold it makes clear to me why Griffin was so selective with his next job. Morey has basically been hamstrung the last several seasons. First due to financial constraints and now with micromanaging. Griffin clearly had enough of that from Cleveland. Either way Houston should be some interesting drama this season. As apparently CP3 and Harden had a blow up after game 6 as well.
