    He hasn't been a part of a successful pro franchise in over 20 years.

    The Rockets haven't won a championship since he built that team

    Resign Hakeem through 99
    Kenny
    Vernon
    Robert Horry
    hired Rudy T as coach

    He has people issues, not GM issues.

    Who picked Robert Horry over Harold Miner? Arguably the best value pick in the entire history of the NBA.

    I appreciate Shaka Smart and beer at the stadium.

    He should at least be our consultant. His ability to draft and pick talent is amazing. Let morey handle money and trades and let patterson develop players from draft picks.

    I think it's time to let go of the 90s.

    Only 8 teams have won championships in the 23 years since he was fired (by our current owner). Zero of those 8 teams were the portland trailblazers. I wonder why the other 21 teams haven't hired him.

    Patterson needs to come in and call out Howard for faking back and knee injuries, and Harden for faking an ankle injury in training camp.

    Didn't he leave things in sort of a mess at UT?

    he went to work for Bob McNair to bring the Texans and build Reliant for Houston.
    Are you familiar with the NFL?

    Then he went to become AD of ASU, then AD of Texas.

    What other questions do you have?

    That's what he did for the Rockets. When the 86 Team that went to the finals got dismantled, he rebuilt the Team around Hakeem and got him
    kenny smith, vernon maxwell, robert horry, cassell (i believe as well) and fired Don Chaney for this dude named Rudy T.

    without these events there would NOT be Clutch City, therefore this bbs right here would not exist.

    Maybe if Curry and Lebron suddenly retire for 1.5 years the rockets window will open up again.

    I'm not a huge NFL fan, but yes, I'm familiar. He helped a billionaire spend his money. He helped operations at a university. He left portland to be fixed, he left UT to be fixed.

    What does that have to do with putting together a championship NBA team?

    be real. les fired him, with reason. he's not going to rehire him.

    And the aspiration for Championship, right?

    That is exactly what we are doing with Morey. Good job.

    he already did put together a championship team.

    maybe you don't read anything I posted.

    no he didn't help a billionaire spend his money, he had to lobby the NFL to allow Houston to get another team. you realize there were other cities who wanted an NFL franchise right?

    the big problem with Portland is that Brandon Roy became injury prone that ruined his career. He drafted LaMarcus Aldridge,

    you know who he is right?

    Do you even know what happened at Texas? He pissed off a bunch of donors and employees. His actual hiring of Shaka Smart and Charlie Strong were good hires . Though we'll see this year if Strong was the right choice. He came in with a mess to fix. He just burnt bridges.


    Do you know who Robert Horry is? Do you know Rockets history?

    Thank you Tinman.

    Steve Patterson will hire a real coach. And then a Statistician from MIT or Harvard or wherever for Analytic "help". Hopefully that guy will NOT have a fanbase of immature kids.
