Except that didnt happen and coaches get fired all of the time. That's how sports work, that's how it's always worked.


Which part? You take issue that some survived the blood bath or that D'Antoni didn't object?

When asked about the firing of his assistant coaches D’Antoni told Mark Berman of Fox 26, “I thought Jeff (Bzdelik) and everybody under him did a great job. You’d have to ask (GM) Daryl Morey about the reasoning and all that behind it, but there are some great coach out there.”

I can confirm through multiple sources that the decision to pick up D’Antoni’s option next season was owner Tilman Fertitta’s, NOT Morey’s. It should also be noted that the decision to hire D’Antoni was former owner Les Alexander’s.

No shite huh. Even if they included draft picks no one would take him.

Couple things: Paul shares his thoughts, often pointedly. Rockets have never made a secret of that, as if they could. And he is good with taking it back. Tucker gets in his face, too. It's what they do. Second, FWIW, Harden/Paul sit next to one another, play cards on the charter.

A thoroughly exasperated Daryl Morey said Chris Paul and his reps have never asked to trade him and he will be on Rockets next season. Said he and Harden do not have issues with one another and that he has spoken to both often this off-season about free agency evaluations, plans.

Morey gave an example: Said he had Harden and Paul on face time with him as they discussed 50 free agents together. Said he has spoken to both players quite a few times since the season with no indications either has changed their stance.

Morey is actively recruiting free agents. What is he supposed to say?

Klutch mouthpiece. Can't let CC get a leg up on Jimmy if they're going to go after him too.

I feel bad for all the Pels fans who begrudgingly sided with CP3 in this. I know that must sting.

I can say this about the Rockets during the postseason. Were there arguments, sure. But I witnessed several uplifting conversations between Chris Paul and James Harden following games, even in their final series against GSW. Not shocking that CP3 would deny the report.

Its shocking Pels fans haven't learned the media's schtick after being dragged through the mud for simply winning the NBA lottery fair and square.

This bullshite manufactured drama is about LEBRON and LA.

The media hates it when anyone gets in the way of their darlings.

They would do the same shite for the Knicks.
