We know why he got an extension, because TF liked him and because Stone isn’t fit to run an NBA franchise. Stone put his own ego and entitlement before the team. There is a reason so many negative stories were written and comments made by people around the league about the Rockets culture. There was zero accountability under Stone - and this isn’t likely to change, a GM doesn’t change his entire personality. The Rockets need a President of Basketball Operations and ideally a new GM.
I gave you details.. and they were whispered about because half the people around Porter hated him and wanted him gone. I’m sure more will eventually come out, because of how much some hated him. As for the Houston media - no surprise.
You can find your post, your details were lacking things that have been reported now - like the breaking of a DJ's PC, or what Austin Rivers said....just saying in general.....half the people hated him is not really reporting....saying..."Jalen Green" hates him....is.... Not blaming you Nook you aren't media - and not really blaming anyone in the community that is sort of media light - but people like Feigen, or others who claim they are media - yet do nothing but fluff pieces are lazy, and frankly are a dissappointment. When I was in the media briefly, we reported everything, good or bad - if it was sourced.....and I find it ironic that in this era of "Look at me" social media - no one was saying much of anything "on the record" You can't really call yourself an insider if all you do is say "I heard" or give innuendo - or maybe that is just the new way....I don't believe anything if it is not sourced or factually backed up - I do believe the people are telling what they heard, but they can be manipulated as well......which is why facts matter to me.

Gonna need the rockets to hit me with some Amen & Whitemore practice videos to make me forget about this man
Ime had his own behavioral and impulse control problems in Boston. We need someone else in the President of Operations role if the goal is to enforce proper behavior.
important thing is to learn from mistakes. Give it another couple of decades and you’ll start seeing things clearer…
There has to be a Seattleite connection between Stone and KPJ. KPJ did win the Washington Mr. Basketball award out of Rainier Beach HS (same school as Dejounte Murray) and it's a pretty impressive list if you see the amount of NBA players who have won the award. The Rockets have had 3 past winners on their roster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Mr._Basketball
What? NEVER....lol - too many times to count, but I know others don't but I just move on - and cheer for the next guy - right now it is Eason - look out Tari!!!!! LOL Alpi though another Muslim center for the Rox - could he be the next Hakeem but different? Let's see? DD
First, you were in the media? Second. At this point, you might consider implementing operation STFU about now. Nook lead you to water. You wouldn't drink it.
Feigen/Iko are out there putting the Rockets agenda on blast, of course they aren't going to do anything to jeopardize that relationship. That's why we need to rely on the likes of Shams/Woj/etc to give us the scoop on non-puff stuff.
The Ime Udoka and Tilman Fertitta's relationship kind of reminds me of Bill O'brien and Cal Mcnair. I just hope Ime is closer to a Popovich than Bill was to Belichick. Ime saying no to James Harden gives me hope.
