[Woj] ESPN Sources: Among the prominent candidates in the Rockets’ search will be former Celtics coach Ime Udoka, Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson and former Lakers coach Frank Vogel. If Raptors coach Nick Nurse becomes available, he’ll be a serious consideration too.

    I would love Atkinson but I don’t see why he’d want to come here when he said no to Charlotte last year

    All are good candidates as none of their name is Stephen Silas who could not build a system with 3 incredibly talented players like jalen, jabari and sengun.

    Best of luck on getting a good one, Rockets bros.

    Please no Udoka we can’t have that negative press and culture impacting our young squad. Too much external noise imo. He can coach, but he shouldn’t be a leader of men after what’s come out with him.

    I want udoka, hopefully nia long fine ass will be attending games 😂 if they ever get back together

    Out of these choices, Nick Nurse for sure. Ime if he didn’t have all of that controversy around him would’ve be good as well

    i’d like Atkinson if possible because I do think he seems like a good fit for the young roster we have in terms of player development, but Vogel is also an intriguing thought as far as being a notably defense-first mentality coach and I’m vaguely interested to see the direction he’d hypothetically take. I really don’t want Udoka and I’m kind of half-excited but also half-worried about how Nurse would fit us.

    Also kinda keeping an eye on Ty Lue in case something happens with the Clips postseason cause there’s been a lot of sort of discontent around him for the latter half of this season, at least from the fanbase, so who knows maybe he ends up available. (Doubt it, though)

    Nick Nurse can whip these guys to shape, the system, to thinking basketball. I hope he comes here.

    Why not Sam Cassell? Like at least as an interview?

    Nurse please. If not, Vogel would be ok.

    I wouldn’t like the Udoka hire because of how he left Boston and how much guidance our team needs, but he’d probably do well and everyone would be fine with it after a couple months. The bar is low here and success covers up a lot in sports.

    I doubt Atkinson takes it but if he does then hey great.

    udoka had an absolutely stacked roster, no idea if he’s an actually good coach. Vogel is a great defensive mind, but his offenses always lack creativity. I hope it’s nurse, even though his constant complaining to the refs is so annoying.
