    Anyone know how many front office staffers Tilman has to fire to make the money work here?

    I can’t get a sense of what ls going on. Are we stockpiling picks for a rebuild or to package those assets to get better players around Harden.

    LOL no way . We dump picks for cash. Only way is if this somehow is involved in dumping more players to save $$$

    Get you some Stone. Let's see if he can make good on navigating a draft unlike Morey. I hated the dreaded quote after the draft, "we tried to move up...". I swear Morey was blackballed by some teams after that Harden trade.

    It's exciting that the Rockets may be looking at buying a pick. May not happen because Tilman is a cheapass, but the idea brings the fun back to the NBA draft day. I'm sure I'll be sad when we decimate the team later on this week, but I'm happy for now.

    Buy a pick to help dump a big salary. Makes sense I suppose.

    You guys are welcome, cause I just had a ribeye even upgraded the side items,at Saltgrass and tipped more than 20%, so we’re definitely getting a low first rounder with that big spend....

    Look it's not Tillman's fault Harden is so tough to move. I hear he doesn't play defense.
