    If Bullie made me more bullish, this makes me more bearish.

    Adding Bill Worrell?
    Imagine how many #1 draft picks we would get

    Wallace will be the fall guy if we draft the wrong guy.

    Daryl has said multiple times you need both.
    Daryl's analytics team is still on board with us as well, you can thank them for contributing in us getting some great prospects late in the draft like capela or even last year, KMJ, Tate...all were not highly touted guys but we pulled em in.

    I like having more guys who have relationships around the league, some basketball history, and they are just members of the team to add more analyssis and ideas and then stone makes the final call unless its Tilly.

    All in all, I just hope we continue to keep investing in our FO, our staff, development, infastructure, facilities..they all add to the culture. Its a good sign we're brinigng in a lot of ideas, keep building

    Is this a tilman hire or a stone hire?

    Cause this will lower my initial grade I have for stone the gm.

    Anyone who was involved in signing parsons to a max contract after his Dallas stint shouldn't b hire.

    The Chandler Parsons signing was terrible when it happened. Some things you just can’t apologize for. I guess you hire Wallace to give insight and just run in the exact opposite direction. Let’s ask him who he likes at #2.

    Is this guy going to try to worm his way into the general manager position? Is he known for being manipulative and creating toxic work environments or just known for being incompetent?

    I mean, somehow this guy has been a GM in the NBA twice. He obviously must do some things right because that’s a pretty big title and it doesn’t usually get thrown around to guys who aren’t in some way talented. His record in those positions doesn’t look great, granted, but that’s not what he was hired to do by the Rockets. I dunno. I guess it depends on how exactly the position is structured, but it does seem a little odd at first glance.

    Borderline blasphemous. Hakeem is the jewel of htx sports. I’ll take him over Jordan 10/10 times. Who got to the finals and almost beat out all time great teams in kareems Lakers and birds Celtics first. Hakeem would have had more chips with some luck.
