    I'ma support my city and its team, but if he sells out to get China money I am not paying him a damn dime. I can go without buying a Jersey if it means starving him into selling it and eventually getting an owner worth a damn.

    Yeah, I was a contributing member for quite some time. I'm not paying money to support a website that I cannot access during high traffic times of the day, no thank you.

    Interesting thought. Charles Barkley is one of the greats, You know why there is one thing that he can never fight back when others laugh at him? ring, ring, ring. sounds familiar? That is the reason why there is only one ultimate goal for basketball. wining more than 50% games in regular season is not, neither is a lose in conference final.

    Its not speculation at all. At least three different sources have confirmed that Patrick has been involved. Russillo even said his son was a huge voice in the Westbrook trade. There is no reason your pin headed son should be involved in huge decisions with trained, experienced professionals. Its not random speculation at all. Its telling. Its bad anyway you look at it. No one should have their young son with no experience in the room with the trained, experienced professionals, especially Rockets one.

    Fair enough.

    High traffic shouldn't be a thing, there should be a solution for that.

    Don't you only have to contribute once to be a contributing member? Something doesn't add up...

    Championship are never guaranteed for anyone. What matters is the process and who put you in the best position to succeed and Morey did that.

    Fertitta is highly leveraged financially. He took on massive debt to buy the Rox, and his restaurant businesses are suffering because of COVID. His gambling enterprises are in the same boat. His companies are borrowing money at above 10% interest to continue operations. He's always been a big gambler when it comes to expanding his empire on credit, but I think he's genuinely overextended this time.
    Maybe that's a good reason for Morey's departure. No money, no picks, sort of the end of the line for reinventing this wheel.

    no one can guaranteed Championship, but can you make to the finals in 5 years or 8 years? You call Morey one of the best GMs? Which GM in the NBA history could be called one of the best after running one team for 13 years and could not reach final once? I guess not.

    We have the second best record in the league since tenure year. Never allowed to tank once. Never allowed to go into luxury tax almost never at least. Played with the GOAT team in a stacked Western conference(and Im emphasizing this point to show you finals dont mean as much). Im sorry but you value the process not the results. And Im done discussing this. You have to look at context and process, not sheer results thats stupid in any aspect of life.
