Ime would be a great fit there. He could turn that team into a defensive nightmare with their size, length, and athleticism.

They still need another offensive star though.

I may be off base with this, but Nurse reminds me a bit of George Karl, in that he's a good coach who can get through to a team for maybe two or three seasons, but they'll eventually tune him out.

Yeah, I think he's a bad fit in Houston. Ime probably a better fit there. Also think Harden to Houston would be a disaster.

Seems to be true for most coaches at the pro level - the NBA players think they know more than the coach anyway.

Remember Kyrie claiming that the Nets won't really have one head coach, but that he, Durant and Steve Nash would collaborate to coach the team ........ and run the organization as well, if I remember right. That's the extreme.

Also remember Larry Bird saying that he would tend to listen less after 3 years with a head coach, which was one reason he gave for stepping down from the Pacers job.

Is Poeltl a FA??

He should be unless Toronto signed him to an extension?

Edit: not yet, but supposedly waiting to offer him a 4 year contract after the season ends.

The Raptors should've tanked this year and traded away their vet pieces. That team as constructed is not a contending team. But the blame always falls on the coach.

Hope Ime picks Toronto before that 76rs job opens in a few weeks.
