Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone noted Monday we shouldn't expect a protracted process as the franchise looks for its next coach after the departure of Stephen Silas following three difficult seasons leading the organization.
Silas served as the steward of Houston's rebuild in the successive years after James Harden's exit, forced to guide a team too inexperienced and too bereft of talent to keep pace in the Western Conference. His replacement won't be saddled in such a way. The Rockets possess a solid core of young talent headlined by Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr.
