        I think Dwight is gone though honestly. He had this "thank you Houston" post on social media so he might already have moved on.
        Dwight's gone because that's what Dwight does... Dwight gonna Dwight.

        Otherwise, I disagree to an extent. The real problem is your alpha dog is ball dominant and probably makes it hard to run any cohesive offense. You've got decent spot shooting wings and definitely have bigs that would work great in a PnR offense. Even Harden would be great bc he'd get tons of fouls attacking in a PnR, and would also get plenty of good looks from 3 if on the wing when someone else is running the PnR.

        They're not the Warriors but who is? What offense do you think they could run effectively (keeping in mind, it's gotta be something Harden buys into or allows him to go HAM whenever he wants)?

            The orlando gm rob hennigan said that the skiles resignation came as a surprise and that there was no specific reasoning for it. There is a separation agreement but would not be disclosed by him.

              Someone said on ESPN that he didn't like either of the starting guards, particularly Oladipo.

              So the trades which brought in Brandon Jennings and Ilyasova were busts, even though Skiles supposedly pushed for them.

              He wanted more veteran players supposedly.

                I saw he was more so not a fan of Payton as the PG of the future while management did and continue to back Elfrid as their PG and he was also upset that the Magic didn't pick up the option on his contract

                  Not only that, Oladipo credited him with helping make him better.

                    Wasn't too much of a fan on the way he handled the rotations.

                    Didn't he put Oladipo in the doghouse for a brief time?

                    Anyway, I think Hornacek and Vogel are great candidates to consider.

                      Man **** Skiles, that asshat is a huge reason why I stopped being a Bulls fan. Never liked him.

                        Oh trust me I know harden is definitely apart of the problem. Honestly idk what offense they should use. For me a heavy P&R attack would help because for the most part the rockets don't look like a cohesive team on the court. I'm sure there's something out there, harden has to buy in though. It's weird because last season it seemed like he was buying in at least a little bit but this yea has just been all over the place lol.

                              Yep. Dude was more athletic than skilled and now that his elite quickness is gone, he's not nearly as good of a player anymore.

                                I've been saying that on here for a year, but he's definitely in the mid to lower tier of NBA point guards.

                                He's been rapidly declining ever since the last Spurs championship season. They probably won't salary dump him, so the next best thing is to draft a young, athletic point guard to be mentored by him.

                                That clearly means that Mills will need to be traded which I'm more than okay with. He hasn't been the same since '14 (pre shoulder injury/surgery), and he isn't nearly as useful without Manu around to do most of the playmaking.

                                Spurs need to:

                                Drop: Patty Mills, Matt Bonner, Boris Diaw, David West, Andre Miller and Kevin Martin

                                Retain: LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, Danny Green, Johnathan Simmons, Kyle Anderson (please, no more playing SF), Boban Marjanovic (maybe)

                                Draft: 1st Round. Whoever is best available between a 6'6" combo guard, an athletic, speedy and slashing PG or a rangy 6'7" - 6'9" athletic SF

                                2nd Round. Trade up using next season's 1st and draft A.J. Hammons

                                Bring - In: Start off by bringing over Davis Bertans or Nikola Milutinov and signing either Ian Mahinmi, Ed Davis or Miles Plumlee.
