Looks like James Harden has been To the Rockets for Jeremey Lamb, Kevin Martin and future picks. Plus... this is a general NBA thread.

They made no run at trying to retain Phil Jackson and the whole clean cut thing was a bad idea IMO. After at least trying to make a serious run at Phil I would have thought Brian Shaw would have been a much better choice and a simpler, cleaner trasition. If they were going to move on for sure they should have courted Byron Scott the year before. Any opportunity to have picked up Sloan would have been a good move IMO. I can't stand Brown.

Yea because making decisions based upon new teams on their first game is always a wise choice.

Laker fans have to be a little concerned considering they are now 0-10?

And yes I know preseason games are meaningless but the same issues showed up last night.

Mike Brown makes RAC look competent

I agree. The Bus family is usually pretty smart so I can't believe they passed on Brian Shaw for Brown

Sure I am concerned but there is a lot of time to get things straight and a whole lot of talent to do it with.

I wonder where Cleveland and LeBron would be if we had a different coach besides Brown...

**dirk digler** · 10-31-2012, 08:04 PM

Ummm..Harden is straight up dominating tonight 36-12 assists, 3-4 steals

**The Bad Guy** · 10-31-2012, 08:08 PM

People that say Harden is a max contract player need their heads checked.

**The Bad Guy** · 10-31-2012, 08:11 PM

I'm a Lakers fan and I'm absolutely concerned about this offense.

He's essentially taking the ball out of one of the 5 best ball handlers of all time. Steve Nash should quarterback this offense. They should also run, run, run and stop getting into these ridiculous half-court sets.

The Princeton offense is great for a team that doesn't have dominant players.

The Lakers have 4 top 25 players on their team, and they can't effectively score. That's a huge issue. Nash ran 1 pick and roll with Howard. This is the best P&R combo in the league right now based on their skillsets, and they ran one.

Giving Mike Brown this type of talent is like giving a 16 year old blind kid the keys to a Range Rover. All that's going to happen is a major accident.

After his domination tonight against the Pistons I would say hell yes.

on his own team yes he is

who else is Houston going to give a max contract to? The ghost of Yao Ming?

Houston isnt going to win a championship with or without Harden but at least with him he will put people in the seats and put cash in the FO pockets and with Lin and the asian market Harden can benefit greatly

Phil wanted to retire. Phil's body couldnt take the constant flying anymor. Do you remember there was even talk of him not coaching when the team went to the east coast.

Phil is a great coach but his body is hurting and he's not young. Phil now just chills in Montana and in L.A with Jeanie

Harden went OFF. F me.
