The general manager (GM) Rockets, Daryl Morey, have good reason about the sacking of 57-year-old coach. He mentioned that the Rockets players are no longer willing to listen to what McHale words in the locker room. They have lost confidence in the capacity since the Rockets coach McHale failed to advance to the NBA Finals last season. And a bad start this season especially outraged officials Rockets team reached its peak.
However, McHale is not entirely a prisoner. He gets a lot of defense from outside parties, one of which is the legendary LA Lakers, Magic Johnson. "If it is true the Houston Rockets fired McHale, then they've done a great mistake. Indeed, the Rockets have players who are great individually, but they do not have players that are great enough to be able to play as a team," said Johnson.
McHale also does not seem to worry himself to be idle for too long, because he was "targeted" by the legendary team of the NBA, the Boston Celtics. It is delivered directly by Celtics GM Danny Ainge, after he got the news of the sacking of the coach.
"I always tried to persuade Kevin (McHale) to want to work with me (on the Celtics)," said Ainge. "In fact, I've talked to him today. We have already provided a position for him here. I knew we could work well together, but I think for now he still needs time to think again about this."
As a coach, Kevin McHale had never donated the title of the championship so far. However, as a basketball player, he had grabbed as many as three times in 1981, 1984 and 1986. Together with the team what he earned three NBA championship rings? Yup, the Boston Celtics! McHale is the Celtics legend, who once formed a deadly trio with Larry Bird and Robert Parish in the '80s. Well, it could be there will be a big reunion in the near future in Boston.
