Bye Dwight

Harden gonna average 40 a game

Houston is going to Jeff Bzdelik as d-coordinator. Dwight's role was pretty marginal when both were in LA so its a foregone conclusion he won't pick up his player option.

He wasn't returning regardless of coach.

This is a very good hire tho. MdA will find ways to get others looks on offense outside of Harden

When has he won a conference finals? Yea he is a great offensive mind, make him an assistant then, he neglects the other half of the game everywhere he goes.

By that logic every coach in this league that hadn't made the finals should be fired. They could do a lot worse than this. He needs a guy next to him who'll implement a good defensive system obviously.

IDK, D'antoni led teams have been complete shit shows since he left Phoenix.

that suns roster would have excelled with a different coach, too

They wouldn't have been nearly as successful Look at Steve Nash's numbers before and after he went to that system.
