If this is the real issue, why doesn’t Tilman and the FO just apologize?

    Apologize and get the band back together. Silas, Russ, Harden, all the assistant coaches Stone and the front office and TILMAN AND PAT FERTITTA. Need to sit down together face to face and just talk it out. I’m sure that will fix everything

    You really think Tilman is the type of guy to apologize for anything? He strikes me as a "apologizing is a sign of weakness" kind of guy.

    I really wish he would humble himself sometimes. If it means fixing the issue he created

    Trump's twin apologizes for nothing and to no one.

    Shut and Listen is all he knows.

    The problem is that Tilman doesn't consult anyone really. He's a big swinging d*$k who does want he wants.

    He doesn't listen to his coach, he doesn't listen to his GM. And he doesn't listen to his stars.

    Tilman would really benefit if he just shut up and listened more.

    It's just dumb not to involve your most important stars in the decision making. They dont have to be the one who actually makes decisions but they need to be involved and know that they have some say. These players are highly sought after commodities if you arent willing to make them feel like theybare part of the team then why will they stay?

    Harden has his flaws but thr team was picking 15th year after year before he arrived, it aint his fault GM and coaches didnt surround him with talent or KD loaded the dice by giving GSW 4 all stars. Harden made this team relevant its dumb that he feels left out Fertits just dumb and incompetent AF.

    Rox are screwed with Fertits I'm looking at the Suns pre-Booker level of trash.

    it's like shut up and listen... unless it's something you don't want to hear.

    People who put out books titled ‘Shut up and Listen’ don’t apologize.

    They won’t, but the entire Fertitta family should swallow their pride apologize to Harden and Westbrook if that will smooth things over.

    That said, the Rockets didn’t even conduct a search for their new GM, as they simply promoted Rafael Stone from within the organization. Finally, what makes an NBA superstar qualified to properly identify a good general manager?

    Also again, we have more proof that Harden and Russ dont FORCE anything. They want to be included in the decision making. Every smart organization does that. How stupid and arrogant do you have to be.

    Yall think Harden gave Morey this ultimatum for Westbrook-Cp3, that was not the case.
