    that's not it at all. he tore this franchise down by thinking he knew how to win when clearly he was in over his head along with his sons. that's the actual problem/ The dislike of him is his LTS and decision making that kept the ceiling of a legitimate contending rockets capped

    Nah it didn't. The rebuild started when they got Jalen Green and committed to him being the 1st player to build around in 2021. The rockets on the other hand have never done it. You're the one who brought it up not me. I answered

    There are examples. Sacramento has gone through a full rebuild for years. Detroit is going through their full rebuild. Orlando is going through their full build.

    You clearly don't know what a full rebuild is. You think having a roster of established guys in their primes is considered a full rebuild. Wrongggggg. but that should be common sense. Apparently not understanding that a team committed to tearing everything down to start over with 19/20 year olds and move forward with them is the same as having guys like scola, k martin, brooks in their prime ages

    It is capable for you to thank god for more than one thing, there's no need to list them all. Nuclear War isnt the subject here but thanks for the info? I guess.

    You can move the goalposts all you want.

    You want to say the "full rebuild" started a year later? Fine.

    I can say that the Rockets 1982-84 rebuild didn't start until Ralph Sampson was drafted, in which case that "full rebuild" only took 1 season to be complete when Akeem was drafted.

    that's you. I've said the rebuild started when the rockets got jalen green a long time ago. because that's when it actually started. You not understanding what a full rebuild is, is where your problem lies. that's a you issue not mine

    What on earth are you talking about, Stone learned everything he knows under Morey and ran Hinkie's rebuilding program.

    Everything else Tilman has done here has been garbage. He still pissed away a title contender by pinching pennies. The GM, coach and franchise player all lied to leave the organization. That's a mistake undoing ten years of building.

    The best thing Tilman can do is nothing.

    After Harden left, you guaranteed me he'd win multiple titles in BKN......still waiting. He's the one that blew things up. Remember the fat suit??

    So, to understand this better, per your definition, how long does a rebuild take? What is the expected timeline here? please, you are calling yourself an expert on rebuilds.
    And how would you rate this rebuild compared against others?

    I had forgotten how you like to skip the topic when you don't have anything to say.

    Sounds like you're going to praising Tilman and his kid for the titles.

    I am just pointing out that you said that about Harden and titles, and you were wrong, just like you are here. Not only was harden the catalyst for the blow up here, he got things rolling on BKN's blow up too, remember?

    I'm wrong because we didn't win titles while tanking? Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.

    If you can stick to a subject, I showed you Timan's massive blunders after you said we should all hail him.

    No, you guaranteed me that Harden would win multiple titles with BKN lol. Why would I think the rebuilding rockets would win multiple titles?? I forgot you forget how to read sometimes lol

    full rebuilds depend on a ton of luck and timing. if your timing is within drafts that aren't exactly great then it'll take even more years than it already does. if you draft incorrectly then well that speaks for itself. Factor in more and more 19/20 year old kids are being drafted at the top, you're looking at a minimum 5-6 years before relevancy begins as a hopeful playoff berth with the hopes that those kids you committed to turn into true positive impact players. You need a draft like this one where Wemby is potentially a franchise altering ceiling to cut those years down. Proven vet impact players who matter are necessary at some point preferably early who can bridge to learning gap on how to win games

    The rockets just finished year 2 going with guys like Green/Bari/Sengun where its hard to argue they shouldn't have drafted. How people feel about their progress is a completely different story. At least they have a foundation they're committed to. Year 3 for a players career is typically the year a significant leap in improvement happens and whether a players trajectory is truly going to be a "star" or stagger to role player or less.

    At this stage, they have just about everything on their side going into year 3. a couple high upside draft picks who need to continue to develop. They just signed an excellent coach. Getting lucky and getting Wemby/miller etc would be great. Then using the available cap space smartly and not just overpay guys who aren't really impact players just because.

    Problem is the FA pool is not good at all.

    We need to hope Boston gets knocked out of the playoffs and Brown isn’t all NBA.

    Then we need a top 3 pick.

    Sign one, trade for one and draft one to go with Green and Smith.

    This is the way.
