Allegedly, dude wanted a raise after Melo was acquired and the Rockets refused. The team was cheap, stupid, and negligent.
Wow, that's a bad look on the FO if it was really over money and leverage essentially. Glad they got it right though.. cost us some games
Has it ever happened that fans would be more excited in getting an assistant coach than getting a star player?
The Tillman needs to pay the man! @Carl Herrera Rockets thought Matt Brase & Roy Rogers could fill the hole just like they thought their scrubby offseason pickups could fill the huge holes left behind. "We hope Roy Rogers & Matt Brase outperform their contracts & know something about defense." "We hope our scrubs outperform their contracts." #runitback #runasone All that said, JB has his work cut out for him.
Nice to see the board getting a preview of what life with Fertitta is going to be like. Les was a million times better as an owner.
Give him a huge contract, a raise, promotion, dental plan, health insurance, car insurance, life insurance, the whole package. Jeff Bzdelik deserves it. I honestly was sad when he left, bitter because of how he left, extremely happy he is back. He gave me different emotions all in one.
So as a negotiating tactic he let the universe believe he had family problems? Wow cold hearted as hell if true. Alternative theory - he reached retirement age and retired?
I'm thinking, the wife probably wanted him to retire and spend more time with the family. and then Tillman drove to his house with dump truck full of cash and his wife agreed to let him come back to one more season
