This pic makes me want to kick puppies. I'm getting a strong i'm in it for the accolades vibes. I will do anything to keep this job and kiss ass as needed.
Since they've been getting a Stoning from the press and fans they decided why not have a press conference and act like the disaster has all been intentional, but just to be clear, it was all on Stone, good or bad. Tilman, you coward!
LOL wrong as usual they did offer him an extension. Do you ever get tired of being wrong. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...-2-year-452-million-extension-houston-rockets
Bold move. Never should have traded for Vic. But then again maybe we wont get KPJ? If hes gonna do what he had with Wood in the next free agency then I would love it. He signed Brown, Nwaba and Tate too during the last offseason. The positives outweigh the negatives so I think this year is a pass from me.
I mean like I totally like get why Stone made the deal and like maybe we just don’t have all the, ummm, info that he does and like it’s unfair to judge him without like taking that into account
“We feel very, very good about being able to get picks and pick swaps that may not materialize, being able to get Kelly Olynyk, Avery Bradley and Dante Exum. We feel really good about when we looked at the analytics of it, based on the production that was leaving our team and the production that we were bringing in, and then what we were able to do. Again, it’s very incomplete, and we have several roster moves left to go, including a draft and all the other things that I mentioned earlier. So we feel very good about the value that we got from the trade.” “I think the best thing I can tell the fans is to place — because I know the media’s job is to evaluate right away, I get that, I have a lot of respect for the media, I’ve always said that — but I think we have to let it all play out. Let it play out. Let the whole thing play out, whether it’s that trade or anything else that we’ve done. I’d say let’s review it six years from now, ten years from now. Let’s let it all play out.” "We feel very, very good about being able to get the 40th pick, being able to get David Johnson," O'Brien told reporters in a video conference Thursday. "We feel really good about when we looked at the analytics of it, based on the production that was leaving our team and the production that we were bringing in, and then what we were able to do. Again, it's very incomplete, and we have several roster moves left to go, including a draft and all the other things that I mentioned earlier. So we feel very good about the value that we got from the trade. "I think the best thing I can tell the fans is to please -- because I know the media's job is to evaluate right away, I get that, I have a lot of respect for the media, I've always said that -- but I think we have to let it all play out. Let it play out. Let the whole thing play out, whether it's that trade or anything else that we've done. I'd say let's review it a year from now, two years from now, three years from now. Let's let it all play out."
LOL @ Stone! He is asking Rockets Nation to give him a decade of grace before judging him. That was smooth Ra-Fell. And he also doubled down on Oladipo trade, Harden trade and every other shitty thing he did. "No regrets." Prepare to hear this ad nauseum during Stoner age.
That just speaks to the virulent cluelessness that pervades CF. This place has an amazing ability to convince itself of its own foolishness.
Im just boiling it down too what Stone accomplished and mishaps this season. If the trade from cleveland didnt happen, would we still be able to get Kpj
