I imagine it's like any business where there is limited time to make decisions and with guys like Malachi you have a very limited time to make an impression, and if you don't your reputation has been cemented. Obviously they'd devote most of their attention to a high draft pick, but otherwise, it's hard. He may struggle though, as ultimately Toronto had a full system from upper management to player facilities. If Houston has different setup or culture, it may not work. But I have no doubt Nurse can work with all types.

Biggest thing Rockets needs is an injection of leadership and work ethic. I’d say current culture is too loose, a lot due to Silas. Nurse would need to change that. The other thing in Houston is GM Stone likes to get involved in on court matters. Interrupting practices etc. Now his seat is quite hot as well, and I’d expect any new coach will have more power than him.
