Incoming D'Antoni hire to complete the Rockets formula.

There it is. Left a little meat on the bone for Sixers fans to maintain interest.

Sounds like Harden will stay lol. Definitely incoming D'Antoni.

F*** off, as5hole.

Possibly THE worst "coach" in the entire NBA.

I certainly got frustrated with Doc, but Boston and New York's coaches haven't impressed, either.

Glad to see that we're moving on.

Fans are going to be clamoring for Monty Williams, but Monty Williams' team blew a 2-0 lead in the Finals to the Bucks and last year in game 7, lost by 40 on their home court to an inferior Dallas team.

Monty Williams got a pass for that, but Doc Rivers would have been crucified if that happened to him.

Monty Williams has Doc Rivers vibes early on in his career. Good regular season coach with playoff loser energy.

If Dantoni is hired you can be sure Harden will stay probably on a discount rate. Those two love each other

Sam Cassell or Nick Nurse please. D'Antoni is old and has never been to the NBA Finals.

I wish I had something nice to say, but he’s been one of the most frustrating among a long line of mediocre coaches for us. Hopefully he gets hired by the Raptors.

If Morey stays, expect MDA on a 2 year deal and Harden to sign a 2 year deal. Morey has 2 years left on his contract.

I don't want any of them here.

An Embiid/Nurse pairing would be poetic. Jo would need to drop 30 pounds and get ready to play some d.

If AD wasn't still in the playoffs, Embiid would have had the best defensive performance of the second round.

Obviously I’m alluding to consistency.

Find the next great coach. Put the work in. Not just lazily hiring another coach who got a ring once in the perfect situation.

You would think a city who’s only 2 titles in the last 40 years came from Doug Pederson and Charlie Manuel would understand that. Two guys who nobody wanted or had any “championship pedigree”

The Doc Rivers, Joe Girardi, John Tortorella, Alain Vigneault retread hires are a waste of time.

Nurse, Bud, Vogel, Lue weren’t “championship” coaches until they were.

Nurse is a nutcase and we need that right now. No more "hey guys pls play faster". If Jo hates him then good...he lost his privileges lol

Jay Wright isn't coming out of cushy retirement to join the clown show.

Opens up the possibility in trading for Kawhi or PG

this energized me something fierce lol

even if it will probably end in pain like normal

Ideally this means they are serious about this...but it also could just be a lazy "see we care" moment.

Oh well

Something to ease the pain in the meantime. Still, fans shouldn't have short memories and forget this playoff failure wasn't all on Doc.
