    Or is it just Morey and MDA? Never have heard him speak about it. Extremely relevant to the future direction of this franchise.

    Whatever makes him look like a legitimate owner employing legimate staff that helps fill the pocket book.

    Tilman doesn’t care, he just wants to win.

    Dude is willing to give away his first born for a championship.

    Wonder if he made or lost money on the Capela trade....hopefully that wasn’t just another cost cutting move. It definitely hurt the team. Part of me still thinks at some point in time he is going to buy us out of this mess.

    All Tilman know is that Morey is the best GM in the nba. He had championship expectation in October.

    If it works - he made it happen!

    If it dont - then he's just supporting his operations people'...

    By extrapolation then... apparently he must value LT savings over his first born...

    He's said he's willing to do 'whatever it takes' to win a championship - but then he trades away all our abilities to improve for luxury tax savings...

    I think the dude is a cheap blowhard who cares more about lining his pockets than winning... imo...

    yup we're currently $5M+ below the taxline and have the cheapest most barren assistant coaching staff in the league

    That’s the only reason for not firing MDA....what a horror show it would be if one of those three subpar assistants were made the temp head coach.

    All this attention and emphasis on small ball has put a target on our backs!! Teams are testing this so called new thing and making it a point to expose and beat us. No half ass playing by our opponents. They are trying to prove a point!! The Rockets Dont help themselves much tho. Hopefully sunnier days are soon to come.

    Tillman doesn't care about small ball, little ball, or big boy ball. All he cares is attendance and sponsorship. And paying taxes.

    Without a new GM/Coach Hartenstein will never see the floor. What makes you think the same crew all of a sudden changes to tall ball next year??????

    Tilman saved money trading Capela for Covington.

    AKA he supports small ball.

    If he can get bigger and save money, he will be all for that as well.

    All the teams know how to beat Houston small ball, Stubborn mda still uses small ball? Can Morey talk with him whether he can use Harkinstein as starter or fire MDA?
