    We need him back asap: we’re just so unfairly undersized against most squads

    The team is old, slow and short and could definitely use House's help at this point.

    Shut up! Anyone can do what House is doing!

    Carmelo, Enn15Clubber, Chumpert, MCW ... ANYONE!

    :D

    Shumpert helped save Tilman some money. ;)

    House might actually end up outsmarting Morey.

    The Rockets complete absence at small forward is all the leverage House needs for a contract this summer

    Morey should change his last name to "Moreyon".

    Iman sucks man. When he shoots a 3 I literally cringe because it doesn't even look smooth. Why were people saying he was a good 3 point shooter? I have no idea what they were thinking.

    More than anything the roster needs athleticism .

    House was probably one of our better athletes and we are letting him rot .

    Maybe just like the Melo and MCW moves , Morey will eventually make the right move and come to terms with house and he will play well for us again .

    But after such a long layoff for someone with such little experience in the league ... it's gonna be tough for him to get his form back.

    I'm not the smartest guy in the room , but usually I can understand the rox FO's moves.

    There has been so many decisions so far that I just have not grasped yet .

    every single move has been purely financial and that's the overarching theme of this season. i mean it's no coincidence that chriss and shumpert are both expiring.

    That’s because the moves don’t reflect team success (now or future—see draft picks for cash dump) it’s comoletely about cash savings.

    That’s fine and all, the team is a business and Tillman obviously wants to maximize his profits. Just funny to see so many people defending him. The Landry’s of basketball is what he’s turning us into

    What should we call it? Landry's Rockets or Houston Landrys'?

    The only Landry I respect is Carl Landry

    The funny thing is , tilman will make way more profit in the long run if he isn't branded a cheap owner early on .

    He can cheap out once he's verified he's "committed" to spending .

    If we win a ring his profits are way up the next couple of years from a residual effect . If we go out before the WCF (or worse yet first round ) , how the hell does he pivot the team towards bringing back fan interest .

    The seats are already empty enough , but selling out (thanks to corporate ) . What happens if he starts to get a bad rep and some of the non-season ticket holder fans substitute elsewhere ?

    Tilman is playing a dangerous game

    Morey can sign him a short contract to see whether Houston can beat warriors for the next match after the NBA all stars. It is no harm

    Y’all are tripping. The dude who averages 9 points and 3 rebounds is the savior?

    I’m going to need y’all to go watch him in the valley.
