ABBA wrote a song about him way back when. Other than that, he was a 12th string center for the Celtics, I think.
Rockets do not have James Harden or a young uninjured uniquely talented All Star in their back pocket. Pedigree matters.
we should be able to trade EG on draft night for a late 1st if there is a guy we like is still on board.

Morey had Yao to work with. Even the year Yao had retired, the previous goal of the organization was to build the team around Yao, which is why they brought Kevin Martin on board along with others, which is why we still had a semi-decent team even after Yao went out for good. Before that, the goal was to build around T-mac and Yao. I'm not sure if Stone had a real chance with Harden or if he was already mentally checked out before Morey left, but I would say that Morey and Stone were not dealt the same hands. I'm so so on him anyways and won't be crying over firing him, but I don't want to pretend as if he had the same hand to deal with that Morey did as the Rockets GM. He didn't.
Things are worth only what you get for them, we got nothing for them, so they aren't worth anything. If Stone could've gotten something for them and didn't, he needs to be unemployed
Looking back I put the blame squarely on that Knicks/Hawks trade. Stone saw that back in January and thought "Holy F***! If Reddish can get Atlanta a 1st surely I can get......18 1sts for Gordon!".
Hopefully, we can TANK SUCCESSFULLY so we can get at least one of the top 3 picks in the draft. However, Wood needs to be traded at Draft Night because he is not our future Center or Power Forward. We should have at least tried to get a young talent today.....why Stone why.............
Still stunned that so many people look at ben simmons as a blue chip player. The trade was highway robbery.
