    Tillman probably offered a minimum wage contract! I smell cheapness in the air at TC!

    I believe they want D'Antoni to resign, not re-sign. If Rockets let go two of his assistants, the writing is on the wall. Instead of firing him which probaly cost the Rockets money for the next coach, they want him to sign out with 0 dollars. I always will be Rockets, but the way they are treating D'Antoni. He should leave and ride another horse.

    MDA deserves criticism. But let's not forget Morey's had more influence on how the team plays more than any GM in the NBA. His paws are all over the offense. If I'm MDA I'd tell Fertitta if he wants better coaching, stop letting Morey meddle in coaching decisions

    I think so to and they should just fire him if that's the case. If I were MDA I would wait until all of the good coaching candidates are gone then decide to quit to screw over the Rockets.

    Right, but you don’t go into an industry where that isn’t the norm and expect it to be accepted with open arms right away.

    Tilman doesn’t give a **** about 4 million dollars.

    No way MDA is back. You can't run a team out with a cloud over their head knowing the coach is gone next season.

    Bring back JVG

    If we gave him an extension a day or two after announcing all the players are on the trade block, I think I might have lost it.

    This isn't a Tillman move. It's 1000000% Morey. How can anyone not see that?

    I agree 100% with the 1st part of your post.

    But Jeff Van Gundy is a dinosaur. His system is 90’s basketball. Game passed him by

    No JVG anymore, but Mark Jackson may be ok for this team.

    He won 2 championships and was an upgrade over Charlie Thomas. He alright in my book.

    I’m confused. I thought we wanted this! Seems pretty grimy but the writing is on the wall.

    Going to be a helluva summer!!

    Well, yeah, but it's not like he did a ton to win those championships, did he? Hell, he bought the team and a championship fell into his lap that first year. But I hear you. I've got no problems with people hating or liking ownership, I guess. :D
