Lionel Vital out, Will Lewis in as Houston GM

Post by GregParks »



Given that HCs have power over GMs, would also seem to indicate CJ Johnson is returning for another season with Houston.

Hopefully we get something from the league on the status of HCs soon.

Does Lewis have any GM experience?

OK. For some odd reason I had him confused with someone else. (I think I was thinking of TIM Lewis.)

I thought CJ would be staying (see coaches thread). His players played hard all year, they let 2 games slip through their fingers.  Somewhere he alluded that talent and someone wrote on it. 
I like CJ - hopefully he can turn things around.

FWIW, a press release was issued on Lewis's hiring today, citing Vital's departure as a retirement:
