Anyone else hoping Tilman is too pissed off when the losing streak continues throughout this week - it’s coming, don’t deny it - that he will fire MDA and or force Morey to trade Capela or Tucker?
MDA getting the boot is only a matter of when Morey ain’t safe either this team is old, short, slow, dumb, can’t shoot, and can’t defend
If the team is making money I dont really think Tilman cares. If it came between winning a title and making less or being this and making more, he would choose this. He's a business man not a fan
Last post for me for today (and for awhile until it cools/heats up) From a friend I stay in contact with who represents a few players (non-Rockets), Tillman is not viewed very highly around the league. That part is obvious to most fans, but my buddy said he's heard him called the "Chevy Chase" of owners. It's hilarious, but also very, very sad, probably because it's the most accurate assessment of our owner's behavior of speaking when he ought to shut up....and being very impulsive. If this team doesn't make the WCF, it's not on James, Westbrook or Morey (depending). It will be on Chevy's decision to expect subpar talent to take us to the promised land.
There’s no scenario where u win a title and make less. He inherited Morey and MDA. This nonsense keeps up and both will be gone, no doubt. Then we’ll have to worry about who Tilman who choose to replace them.
Tilman is actually extremely impatient but that's the not the issue here. He's not even paying attention to this team in the regular season. He's not an owner who follows his own team's progress until the playoffs. If you asked him what seed we were right now to his face, he would definitely not know. He's one of those casual fans that only watch the NBA in the playoffs and make a bunch of hot takes on what's wrong with the team so he can scapegoat someone (last year it was Bzdelik).
Tnx! Yeah makes sense he’s not well liked. I have to disagree, Morey had to work under the tax with Leslie too.
Perfect for the NBA really. Have a bad season and now he has the perfect excuse to fire Morey. I'm not saying this is fixed or rigged, just saying, after that whole China thing, it would have been hard to fire Morey if the Rockets are a 2 seed and making the WCF...but now, being a 6-8 seed, maybe a 1st, 2nd round exit? Easy to let him go then. We all expected Morey gone after this season and so far the Rockets play is given Tilman the perfect excuse to move on from him.
I dont pay attention to the backend money so I dont know. The example was hypothetical but if it was real, I stand by it
It will never ever happen bro, he just doing this as his side interest not to make money or business out of it. Maybe show his rich friends that he got a team just to brag about it. Heck LTS on his mind, firing mda will lose him money and trading away players will net a loss since their stock are on all time low.
Shout out to Codman. Lol at the Chevy Chase. Also a subliminal shot that TilTax is the Chevrolet of nba owners.
