    I mean, Codman did say we were supposed to get Jamychal Green and Temple along with Ellington from Miami but both those franchises lied and dealt those guys elsewhere. Tilman even said that he wished other teams were trustworthy. So, the plan was to spend and improve the team, so I dont get the hate. If they couldnt get their targets, it was on to plan B and that was cut costs. Am I missing something?

    Whatcha gonna spend your share of the league tax revenue pool on? Now that you’re a non-Taxpayer, should be a nice sum of money coming your way.

    Hopefully, you’ll spend it on something more fun than paying off your contractor bills on the Post Oak Hotel.

    Yes.

    We use up 3 picks today and did not improve the team.

    There are certain things you can't control when it comes to winning basketball game, like luck, shots, matchups, etc and those you can live with when it goes wrongs.

    There is certain things you can control, such as CHOOSING TO SPEND MONEY. We learned today, that TF is not going to do everything he can to give the Rockets the best chance to win. That is deeply concerning, and Rockets fans have a right to be upset.

    We will probably know by this summer .

    Leaving untouched MLE is pretty sickening .... especially if we strike out in the buyout market and don't come to terms with house .

    Take the case of House . we could sign him to a value contract and then trade him in the future if we need to shed salary . He could be a good asset we pair with a bad one .

    I understand making cost saving moves when you've got 40-50 million of lux tax fees coming your way .

    We don't . We wouldn't have a big problem until 3-4 years from now .... MAYBE

    Think about how much money you generate if you win .

    GS isn't worried about a 50 mil impediment right now because they rake it in

    I'd ask him to sell the team to someone who can afford it.

    Sure, but if you cant get your targets, for reasons you cant control, then why go after something just to go after something?

    Right now I am fine with them not spending the MLE if this is the year they get under the luxury tax to avoid the repeater tax.

    Golden State's tax bill next year is going to be $90,000,000 and if they resign KT and KD it will be $225,000,000. They can pay it because they have revenue streams the Rockets do not have.

    I will tell you when we will know. If Shumpert plays well, he will be a free agent and we have his Bird Rights. So we can go over the cap to sign him. If the Rockets let him go without signing him, then we will know that we will have been had for sure.
