    So in order to give James Harden and Dwight Howard full control and possibly a third star to join them, the Houston Rockets, led by the Daryl Morey and Kevin McHale tandem, drove away Jeremy Lin, Omer Asik and Chandler Parsons.

    Listening to James Harden makes you think that the Houston Rockets actually got better by losing Omer Asik, Jeremy Lin and Chandler Parsons in this free agency period. Looking over their roster while ignoring his not so wise words, you see that the truth is completely different.

    One last time about Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets. There’s a new chapter for him beginning with the Los Angeles Lakers, but it’s still very interesting to look back at how things went badly for him on a team that believed a bit too much in the “genius” of Daryl Morey, only to be left with James Harden, Dwight Howard, Kevin McHale and currently being very far from the contender status they were hoping for.

    The end of the season before the actual off season starts is time for speculation and maybe doing some daydreaming. The Houston Rockets find themselves in a crossroads situation. It has to do with their head coach Kevin McHale, but they’re sticking with him.

    While for Jeremy Lin the case of the matter is him needing a head coach that actually likes and appreciates him, things are different for James Harden. The Houston Rockets see their future being led by him, but for that one to be less filled with falling short and early playoff disappointments, there has got to be a change and the head coaching position, which means letting go of Kevin McHale.
