[QUOTE="excat, post: 2518678, member: 29449"] Harden went to a much better coach, and a much better defense orientated team, and he is the reason they lost it this year, lack of consistency and next to no defense, he tries to be RW, and he just will never be that. There are good players, great players, and elite players, Harden is on the verge of being great player, and I doubt he'll ever be much better than that. The best thing I could see for us to do, as I said is to keep RW, but with the preface that we can only keep him under a coaching staff change. If we keep the current coaching, they would being doing a great disservice to their selves for another repeat of this year. That being said, as much as I think that needs to happen, I have a hard time seeing our front office actually pulling the trigger on a coaching change. That is why I think the option of trading RW is probably our best option, as I have written off the option of Brooks being ousted. Just as you stated in the vet's we've picked up, our GM seems very afraid to shake things up and pull the trigger on a big move. I don't know how I feel about Mark Jackson. I think there are some good aspects to him, but I don't know if he's one of those coaches that can take you to the next level, like we may just break even if we picked him up over Brooks, like a wash of sort. For a group like we have, with the lack of maturity that runs through our players, we really need a seasoned coach, that can come in and actually take charge and can change the demeanor of all our players. After all, the coach is the players' direct boss, and it doesn't seem like Brooks is very boss like, more of a friend. [/QUOTE]
