Surely Lionel Hollins would rather be an assistant here over Houston

    It's just the necessary precursor to getting rid of McHale. They're getting his replacement for cheap

    Houston is a fun city for wealthy black men. Plus they have a great roster with a shakey coach. He'll be the head coach by the all star break.

    I can't see how Portland would be a more attractive option than Houston. Why? Because we beat them? The teams stacked next to each other couldn't have been more similar to each other.

    We have an owner who can double the salary offer he gets from Houston . . .

    I'm sure Lionel was assured that he'd get promoted when they fire McHale at the trade deadline.

    Because he could look up during every home game and see his own jersey in the rafters. And because the fans here would love him far more than the Houston fans ever will, even if he does replace McHale. And because Lillard is probably far more enjoyable a player to coach than Harden is.

    Way better chance of McHale getting fired than Stotts. Also, no state tax in Houston

    That looks strange to see. "A fun city for Wealthy Black men." And perhaps it is true
    But Why??? I don't care if I never see Houston again.

    Nothing special. But then I can't connect to this "fun City" either.

    Need a picture of you underneath the sign "Keep Portland Weird". Think that would be a gem.

    Who says Stotts wants him here?

    Need coaches that are happy with their role and can contribute to the system already in place.

    Weren't there kind of weird personnel reasons why he was let go in Memphis? Like being too strict or some shit like that?
