    I think it’s fair to say none of us know anything “for a fact” in regards to this, aside from a female was involved and he lost his job.

    I love the new hire. What many people don't understand is that when players have issues with the coaching staff, they complain to their agents. The agents communicate with Stone. If Silas was as incompetent as many say then that's why Stone stepped in and micromanaged so much. Everyone respects Ime, including players, staff, and agents. All that stuff the players were getting away with these past few years is over. The Rockets have shown they're capable of beating the top teams when they actually tried to win games. I believe they can make the playoffs next year, and if they're lucky enough to draft Victor, the sky's the limit.

    I am not sure that is not true. If it were, then Houston would not strike out so much on FAs. Clearly there is a disconnect between what you consider a great place to live and what many pro athletes do.

    I live in Atlanta, and while we don't sign a lot of FAs, pro athletes do choose to live here, as well as numerous entertainers. I know at one point Houston was a popular living area for pro athletes; even Shaq had a home in Houston at one point. Is that the case now? I mean does Beyonce even live in Houston anymore?

    Is Ime Udoka the best Nigerian in Rockets History?

    Ok so why isnt New Orleans the top FA destination since it has such walkable parts? If an entertainer or sports star from Atlanta buys a house in LA does that mean Atlanta isnt popular anymore? Many cities strike out on FAs routinely, even cities assumed to be more attractive than Houston. I think if you look at it deeper you'll see Houston isn't as disregarded by FAs, entertainers, etc., as you think. Remember when Harden was traded to Houston? No one felt sorry for him to be "Htown!" like many players tweeted back then.

    Guess we can trust the investigation. Also, this was well known from first hand sources even last year.

    I don't think the Celtics give us Jaylen Brown without Jalen Green or Jabari in the deal.

    If we get Wemby 100% because they don't want to build another superteam, Celts are shrewd too. They expect to be contending themselves and won't just help another team out in building a contender.

    I think if we get Wemby we don't need brown. Get Harden, sign another wing vet or **** just play Eason at 3, for real, if we get Wemby and Harden in one offseason we don't need to gut our team getting Brown.

    Spoelstra? Kerr at 9 years also close enough. Considering I view Udoka as a POTENTIAL top 5 coach in the league, that’s the fair company he is in.
