    I mean he’s not wrong . Maybe 5% of fans see that he’s ducking the tax.

    Can’t believe they really are going to lie to us twice about the tax now. Just so damn disappointing. Not going all in for Harden.

    I get it. I would not pay $25 million in luxury tax penalties for Iguodola in addition to his $17 million salary. Trade Gordon and Shumpert plus fillers and its roughly the same tax bill and much better option in my opinion. Wing defenders can be had at deadline/buyout season. Those guys don't take too long to learn their role in our offense/defense.

    What hurts is that Rockets could have done BOTH.

    Congratulations, Rockets?

    No, I should say Congratulations Fajitas, I guess...

    Thats impressive!!! But I still think its inevitable that we will go over the luxury tax at some point.

    Morey is going to call a press conference today and announce the Rockets will hang a new banner in TC.

    "2 Times Tax Evading Champions".

    Congratz to Tilaman, Tilman Jr and the Economics teacher for Jr's class.

    I don’t blame Tilman. You don’t need to pay any luxury taxes when you have Harden and Westbrook.

    Thanks for the post. I really want to believe that Tilman isn't getting in the way of adding talent.

    The real question is will YOU be able to handle it if this team wins?

    Damn Jazz fans everywhere!
