    Thanks for jogging my memory, the shumpert trade was AFTER tilman took over. One of the worst trades I can remember. You dont give up draft picks for cash. It's a sure way to tank a franchise.

    The Fertitta Family showed this from the second they bought the team, it shouldn't come as a surprise.

    This is a BAD look. Not going to lie. It screams CHEAP. The optics are undeniable, regardless of whether or not the pick would have likely made an impact or not.

    One of if not the greatest team to never win a title 2018', was stripped because of this stupid ****.

    inherited an all time team and then screwed it all up with his arrogance
