    This. Iggy or no Iggy isn't the problem. The problem is expecting fans to believe an owner who bent over backwards to cut costs last year, at the expense of putting the best team on the floor. An owner that hasn't given a tradeable contract to Shumpert, or tried to take back salary and another useful player from the WB trade.

    He did give House part of the MLE. I guess that's something.

    Make a significant deal that improves the team, and makes the Rockets take on a lot more money, and I'll buy he committed to winning a championship. Until then, just shut up. EDIT, And by shut up, I'm talking to Rockets ownership and management, not any of you here at CF.

    Ariza had trade value, tilman did not keep him.

    Did not use full MLE last year.

    Looks like we will be under the cap. I was naive to think we would go after Iggy in a trade. Just like last year when we could have won the title if we had gone into the tax and traded for Jamychal Green.

    This is when you know things are off the rails.
