    I respect Tilman for burning it all down and starting his own era. Dude held it down for the tank

    Top draft picks, top coach in the league, dropping money in free agency

    Never understood the hate on the man

    btw: according the Senate’s nomination tracker, Tilman hasn’t officially been nominated for Ambassador to Italy, yet … only “announced.”

    That is: no nomination has been sent to the Senate, yet, to confirm. Wonder if he politely declined.

    Rockets going nowhere this year and likely for the next few years until those second round picks that Stone stole end up on the court in 2029. Stone has rarely traded for a non-draft pick other than the horrible Oladipo deal and somehow now we think he can acquire a superstar talent. He’s a lawyer with zero basketball acumen. He’s great at contracts, the luxury tax, etc. but this team will never win the Finals or much less even make it there with him at the helm. OKC and Spurs are the new powers in the West starting next year. Lakers and Nuggets will improve in the offseason. Rockets will still be behind T-Wolves and close with the Mavs, Grizzlies and Warriors. Best case scenario is 6-8th seed next year and with “zero moves”Stone and the everlasting hope that our young guys figure it out approach….the new mantra will be that we’re just a couple years away (heard that before). This is one of many businesses for Fertitta and not a true love and that’s exactly why he employs a clueless lawyer as his GM.

    I wish I could tag every freaking idiot on this forum that has continued to call him Broke and cheap. I can’t, but if you see this, just know that you are a low IQ individual and you always will be and this is just one blatantly obvious example.

    Hopefully he looks at that list and realizes that the only thing that has GSW valued so high is multiple championships and the willingness to pay to make them happen.

    Success isn’t the only factor that contributes to the business value of a franchise.

    Both the Rockets and Bulls either own their stadium (or in the case of the Rockets have full operating rights under a highly favorable lease deal), plus both own their own TV Network. That combination is the Knicks model that everyone wants.
