    So I guess we’ll know what Fred’s gonna do by Monday, since it’s the deadline to pick up his player option?

    not even gonna begin to try to figure out what that means. But I’m guessing he didn’t get an extension.

    Nothing would make me happier than seeing Fred talk **** on Ime or Stone after treating him like a king and $100mil + later

    To be fair, Wall wasn't wrong.

    Annointing KPJ as a franchise player was idiotic (looking at you Stone)

    He is operating at a different frequency for sure. Totally incomprehensible BS.

    He’s just setting realistic expectations for fans to understand why he’s moving around like Joe Biden on the court

    Wall could have freed himself of this incompetent franchise, but chose not to. His NBA career lasted 30 more games.

    Can't blame him. Stone literally paid him to sit at home while he pretended that KPJ had superstar potential. Ironically, that decision likely cost us Mobley and screwed over Green's development. imagine a front court of Mobley and Sengun.......that was possible if it weren't for Stone's love affair with the woman beater.

    What does it say when your supposedly indispensable team leader / primary ballhandler / NBAPA president is passive aggressively vagueposting about the status of his contract?

    If he opts in, it presumably means the Rockets are not comfortable to extending him for anything but a pay cut. They have to consider trading him just to use his salary slot.

    If he is telling the truth and his meniscus was also repaired, he might be done.

    This is where MOREY is so much better than Stone he was BRUTAL on his evaluation of assets, if they didn't work he got rid of them asap.

    Stone hangs on to broken pieces, and gets rid of promising ones....
