    You are not a champion until you will one..........Is Morey a great GM? he hasn't won a title. Owners are the same.

    Color me still unimpressed, all the other GMs are doing business with each other and Stone is one of the least active ones.......

    It will bite him when he really needs people to listen to him.

    you can set the goal. doesn't mean it was ever going to happen. This roster full of still raw kids and non stars isn't a playoff team.

    that was never going to be a one year sudden fix from a 20 win team

    If only we had owners like Denver, San Antonio or Miami - you know "business savants" where one inherited the Wal Mart fortune another sells Caterpillar tractors and the other was ... wait for it - the founder of Carnival cruise lines!! LMAOOOOOO

    Well, yeah, but this saying is more as a consolation prize, and the Rockets have been saturated with consolation prizes since the Harden loss to the Worriers.

    the Raptors might want to get rid of Chris Boucher's contract now that they acquired Olynyk.
    Landale's non-guaranteed contract plus a couple 2nd round picks might be enough to pry him away from Toronto.
    not as good a 3-point-shooting/passing like Olynyk but better defender and some rim-protecting

    I like Boucher; definitely not the brick wall, rim protector type. More of a stretch 5/long PF

    I've read sooooo many posts here where people talked about Tilman's concept of "Phase 2" and his quote about "competing again" and said it meant that he expected us to make the playoffs. Of course, you want your coach to say that, and maybe even believe it, but the trade deadline is about the plans of the ownership and front office, and this year our goal was never about making the playoffs. They're not going to sacrifice any future at all to do that. Especially not with this team, which has lots of maturing still to do.

    Warriors were tough and we were the only team to take it up to them


    Paul's hamstring didn't help

    It is just a marketing campaign to sell tickets. I don't think it is indicative of what the coach or GM feels about the team or player or anything. Just advertisements to sell tickets.

    he's so valuable at that cheap contract. Wouldn't surprise me if we picked his option up next year. He's perfect for when someone gets injured. Make the suns, celtics overpay.

    Astros tanked for 3 years, then had a season that showed improvement, then made the playoffs the year after that.

    That's exactly the approach the Rox FO is looking at. Which means they expect to see us in the playoffs NEXT year.

    If I'm Stone, I'm trying to see if I can get Boston's first-rounder before I take the Mavs' offer

    nobody is going to over pay for Tate. There's nothing special about him whatsoever. Not taking multiple 2nd rounders for him is flat out stupid. It frees up minutes for guys who need it on this roster and you can use those 2nd rounders to improve offers for a back up big or a shooter

    haven’t you heard? We’re trading Tate, Green, Landale and maybe Adams in a package for an all-star next season!!!

    from the guy who gave away picks to not sign Brook Lopez
