    How can someone be so shamelessly cheap and lie about it

    With a good basket move to get RoCo.

    Wow, what a genius move.

    God I wish we had Dolan. Dude is incompetent and unlucky but never as bad as this piece of ****

    tilman could deliberately plan to sabatage a team and not **** it up this bad

    Why buy a team if you cant afford to field anything competitive?

    I hear the Rockets have scouts all across Chuck E Cheese. They know the next time we have a first round pick is in 2030, so it’s time to recruit early.

    Tilman is getting too much hate for this......has he ever been under the luxury tax in any season since he aquired the team ?

    i see no problem if he wants to strip it back and build it up again. Would be the first time as owner that he has had the chance to do it.

    Bragging rights? I get.

    Profits? Stock market is booming right now. A lot easier ways to make profits than buying and dealing with an NBA team.

    I don't know (or care to know) Tilman's portfolio. You are right, the stock market is booming.....I'm doing very well right now. Maybe just bragging rights then.
