    Quit repeating yourself. The OP is clear

    What exactly motivated you to start such a useless and insulting thread? This GARM has actual internet bullies on it. Are you one?

    also, and correct me if im wrong... FVV and DFS = Kyrie salary.... but if Mavs dont want DFS, we can now do the deal w the exception + FVV right?

    I would think this may help at the deadline as other teams flop and their ownership decides "its not their year" and look to trim the payroll... we can now supply a 25M expiring and take back like 37M... ?

    No, trade exceptions cannot be packaged with other salaries in trades.

    Maybe, but I highly doubt we want to be a luxury tax team after trading three SRPs to get under the threshold.

    I probably think more highly of Stone/Udoka than some of the people in this thread.

    But, I also just don't think anything really matters until you get a real star, a guy that can go get his own buckets at will and make plays for others if he's trapped.

    A better coach could maybe get us to the 2nd rd, a better GM could maybe craft better support cast.

    But, the Rockets aren't contenders if it's top 2 future leaders can't shoot a basketball or run an offense. There's been way more teams win a championship with mediocre GMs and coaching than teams win without a star.

    The only diff i would say is that we were actually targeting tanking for 4 of Tillmans years... We purposefully tanked for Olajuwon and maybe Ming... but most often we were just bad... lol
    People are twisted on b2b 52 win seasons... we didnt have a single 52 win season from 1967-1989... the WCF vs Celts was a 51 win season...

    52+ win seasons
    1960s - 0
    1970s - 0
    1980s - 0
    1990s - 4
    2000s - 3
    2010s - 5
    2020s - 2 - with 4 seasons to go....

    After 32 years of being a fan, I am thinking it is time to find another team. At least until these clowns are gone.

    Come on, being a fan, doesn't mean you have to agree with others.

    I am frustrated as hell, and don't think Ime nor Stone is good enough - if you don't agree......fine, that is on you.

    Arguing about bullying? Seriously, are you that weak? It is a difference of opinion.

    Grow a pair and quit whining.

    Nobody. It’s common sense though. If you won’t watch the team you’re supposedly a fan of, you can’t really claim to be a fanatic. I don’t understand how you disagree. What’s a band wagon fan if not someone who conditions their fandom on being good enough to be favorites?

    At this point my expecare very low. As long as Tate and Holiday aren't back, I'll consider the offseason successful.

    We have want you want in Amen if our brain dead coach would let him loose. KD will stand in his way this upcoming year.

    Its not reactionary its done to save money.

    Why is this a ****up by Stone? If the owner wants to save money he has to do it lol. You want Stone to throw a hissy fit over 3 2nds? We literally gave up 5. 2nds for KD they aint worth ****.

    Its like when the Rox sold the 55th pick for cash considerations its not a ****up by Stone that money isnt even going to him.

    A wise man once said, "If you ain't got no haters you ain't poppin'"

    When I read a thread like this, I think, "Damn, Stone and Ime must really be poppin'."

    Losing a 100$ to see the rockets win is nothing bro

    problem is they are putting all their stock in a failure of a team to at best maybe win 1 series even by you.

    thays a team that needs to be demolished and rebuilt
