    It's a pretty safe bet that any savings the Rockets get will go on to subsidize Tillman's Po Boys, so rolls are indeed relevant

    I used to think the FO cared about chemistry and fit. I would day dream if only this player or that player would help balance the team. The longer the season goes the more disheartening I become. I know they see the same product I see and it’s not ok as of this point. We were so close last year. This off-season has to go down as DM worst (it’s not even close). As they were signing up I was get more and more frustrated asking why. The trade deadline is nearing and I have an acidic tease in my mouth. DM don’t out smart yourself try to get one up on the rest of the world. We don’t need homerun type players triple and doubles work, too.

    DM Please just keep Knight —> he turns into an asset next season no matter what he does. If your desire is use picks put them with Gordon and get us some real help.
    Unload Paul even if we “lose” on the deal because long term we wouldn’t. They only asked what they thought you would pay.


    DM I say I trust you then I think about Chuck Hayes and get really concerned.

    That is just not how business works. Some business wants profitability over Championship. Luxury tax hurts some owners business. Overworked and underpaid players are leaving their job. Some key players are in decline, the younger guys failed to perform, and injuries/etc. All of that is true, as is the fact that absolutely nothing was done by GM by the trade deadline.

    ^ This.

    Carl applied for a job with the Rockets organization but it was never filled because they wanted to save money.....perhaps?

    Trade Brandon Knight to WSH for Trevor Ariza. WSH needs a PG now that Wall is injured. Ariza will take the Rockets to the promised land and get MVP because he was the MVP on the Rockets last year. AOF will begin to annoy Tinman.

    Ppl are finally starting to see what I’ve known about Tilman for a while and that he’s a cheap ass owner. Money saving is his goal and if championships come then they come.

    shut up.. no one sees anything... you just continue to expose your stupidity.

    um yea... thats how it is usually. Everything waits until 1pm at the day of the deadline? You just started following basketball or what?

    Yes, I became a Rockets fan because of Danuel House. He told me he would buy me a new car once Murray paid him but Murray still hasn't paid him. Do something Murray!

    Target is to lower the tax for the next season. Morey has been the success in the buyout market and will do again next season.
    Lets make it clear that fans want to win and owners want to earn.
