For regular season. He absolutely refuses to adjust to anything in the playoffs and only does one thing ALL the time. Nurse, Stevens, Spoelstra would coach circles around him.
Billy Donovan, McMillan, Lue, Atkinson, even Gentry are all better coaches than him.
Or just go the ex-player route with Billups or Sam Cassell.

You want extreme esmall ball and shoot 3s til I die coach of past 30 years, in your Philly team, with both your franchise players being big men? With one being an average perimeter shooter and the other historic awful one, are you really sure about this?

Fuk the NBA and all their BS talk. Go to China, they love you and you love them more than the US of A! Total HYPOCRITES!
His only concern is $$$$$!

Oh I know its Morey ball, but he hired D'Antoni because he is a OG small ball coach, do you remember his Suns of early 00s? committed full time small ball run and gun 7 seconds play style, with small forward shawn Marion as only big in certain playoff series (and 6'9 Stoudamire forced to be center starter when he wants to be PF), in a time when everyone played with 2 bigs. They ran people off the floor with smaller size, speed, skill, shooting. Super entertaining.
Tell me how a coach who wants this every time he gets free reign to do his thing (suns and rockets), plays with Embiid who needs to be post player to do damage, and a Simmons that cant shoot.
What ruins D'Antoni rockets is the Westbrook trade, Morey didnt want it either, but Harden couldnt work with Paul so he forced their hand. But Westbrook is awful for a system like this, because he is a sketchy shooter, it would be 5 times worse with a non shooter as simmons for D'Antoni.

Yeah exactly Dru, he fails at playoffs because he subcribes to the idea you dont need to play defense (besides the naive small ball stubborness), and playoffs become about who have the better defense. You can run and gun with highlight reel offense in regular season, but come playoff time, that shit dont fly.
Yeah he will easily find jobs. But Rockets are fucked, they traded picks to get westbrook for CP3, and lost one of the only younger quality assets they had in Capella, to play small ball. All they have left are average/decent veteran role players, two stars in early 30s. No young talent in roster, no picks to add such players either. And the coach you built this small ball roster for is gone (who as flawed as he is, guranteed top 3-4 in west conference with his offense schemes). So what the hell are you doing now?
If I was Warriors I would call up Rockets and see who they want for Covington.

You think Luca will leave Mavs? What makes you think that? He got the key to the kingdom as a rookie to run the team by Cuban, have history of proper BBall playing organisation that builds with smart role players and supports its franchise guy. Quality coach, Dirk in your ear, KP, they just need to add another star and more talent in general.

Reasons why he will leave are no different than Dirk's time:
It's all speculation right now but that's my two cents based on the sentiment of Mavs fans who foresee the same.
