It's been a very turbulent three weeks since Houston lost Game 6 of its second-round NBA playoff series at home to the Dubs.
The Rockets have parted ways with assistant coaches Jeff Bzdelik, Mitch Vanya and Roy Rogers, player development assistant Irv Roland and video coordinator John Cho.
The team's official Twitter account was briefly suspended.
As Shams Charania of The Athletic reported last week:
There was something of a clash of styles brewing throughout the Rockets season, with members of the team — most notably Paul — having spirited discussions with Mike D’Antoni about the offense and pushing for more movement, league sources told The Athletic.
