    Rockets is loser, but Tilman is the winner.

    He successfully saved money again.

    an early 2nd from who? Atlanta's 2020?

    Covington isn't worth a FRP + Capela. Sure it complete's the owner's will to go bellow the tax but as value is a straight up L.

    People are anguished at giving up green and nene ... lol neither of them were playing at all for us this year.

    Would i have liked a better player than bell ? yes . Am i sold on covignton being as good as PJ/clint ... i dunno , RoCo is only shooting 35 fro the 3 this year and I've heard he's been injured in the past. We will see

    We do have space now ... and a trade exception or two if i remember.

    Unfortunately, I dont think tilman will open up the wallet more ... and we are running out of draft assets.

    so im 50/50 on this trade despite understanding why we did it.

    He sucks except for game 6 of the WCFs in 17/18 when he was all world D and even hit a bunch of shots, his biggest contribution was fouling Harden numerous times on 3's that they never called too.

    Covington has improved since last he played here. Did you think CC was an All-Star?

    It is what it is. You weren't *actually* wrong. The value was fair. Tilman just forced Morey to include more to the deal to shed money.

    If there is anybody at this point still defending this dude as an owner, they are simply in denial. It can no longer be argued. Most already knew this, but there should be zero defenders at all at this point.

    Our small ball center is Tucker.

    Come on man, does anybody watch the games? Like seriously, DAntoni has gone 5 small several times this season even when Capela was healthy. Y'all seriously cannot be this stubborn.

    Covington
    Tucker
    Harden
    Gordon
    Westbrook

    Crunch Time Lineup.

    That's actually pretty good provided they hold their own on the glass.

    This trade is brutal.
    Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
