    What Tilman did in destroying a 65 win team over Luxury Tax $$ was terrible, I think he came in as a know it all and got what he deserved as a result. That had to be a real eye opener ....

    Since that disaster he's stayed out of the way and let his basketball people do their jobs and "follow the process"....

    I much prefer this approach to the mediocrity Les made us endure for years , picking 14th every year until they lucked into Harden.

    From my point of view, at least currently, it appears that Tilman has learned a harsh lesson from his initial disasterous decisions and is letting his basketball people do what they do .... and the results point to a bright future.

    Lets just hope he is willing to pay the tax in the future ....

    They'll have to spend $91,021,863 (including this years draft choice) just to reach the cap floor.

    Again, he did not say that. And again, deductive reasoning does imply that.

    Reason I have Yo-Yo on ignore

    He tried to challenge me one on one in basketball to prove who knew more about basketball.

    As if me beating Popovich or Coach K in one on
    one means I know more than them.

    And yet you still follow. Foh. Funny how you twist the story to make yourself sound like the victim. You were challenged cause you tried to act like something you’re not. Then when given the opportunity you backpedaled as fast as you could. Then whining and cried. Typical cf’s idiot

    so the "victim" Claims to be better

    to no surprise. big mouth online. no actual bark in real life

    next we’re gonna hear that Tilman did all he could to spend money on a contender, but it just didn’t work out

    the outright lies and alternative facts are wild

    He indeed appears to be a bit off. It is a message board for a pro sports team, it's par for the course I suppose.

    These Tilman apologist continue to amaze me with their stupidity. But I mean they're as dumb as Tilman is so it makes sense. Losers stick together and think the same way

    As far as this thread is concerned. I don’t know many facts about the owner besides him trading guys to get under the tax however many times. Until he does opposite in that regard I don’t have much confidence.

    Is there anything else that I am unaware of?

    People on here trying to re-write history. Little did we know, Tillman was actually a visionary basketball and business mind when he broke up a championship contender in record time. I guess he also built a world class practice facility, I'd love to see it. :rolleyes:

    pushing the Westbrook trade through when the FO got cold feet

    not building a new practice facility even tho that was promised back in 2017…Idk what section of the multiverse this alleged new practice facility is in, but it doesn’t exist in this reality

    making his son Patrick damn near 2nd in command

    For the record, I would've tore him a new A-Hole.

    One bigger than John Lucas

    I remember seeing a thread in here with pics of other teams’ facilities. Hopefully they get that done soon. That is 5 years ago.

    You don't have to spend to the floor.

    If you don't, that money just gets allocated to your existing players under contract.
