Feeling better about Stone

Something is happening because nothing makes sense anymore. I think Tillman is starting to realize Houstonians are ready to get on yelp and destroy his places.

 

If this ultimately lands them Christian Wood plus a couple of extra picks it’s a genius move. If, like I unfortunately expect, it just saves Tilman somemoney, then that will be unfortunate...

 

He was the best thing that's happened to the Rockets in a while. The trade better lead to something good.

 

That doesn’t square with the last couple of years though. Every single thing would mean going into the luxury tax, building a better bench, etc.

 

well this isn't every year.

I'm positive we'll use the Tax MLE or this TPE if Harden is to stay.

 

Stone is trash, I called it at the intro conference. He's just another mouthpiece and scapegoat for Tilman.

 

It makes perfect sense for Tilman’s pocket

 

It's 100% to save money. Homeboy took a huge hit this year due to the restaurant/casino industry, there won't be fans in the arenas, they're not going to win. What do you do? Cut salary like crazy and tank.

 

I have no reason to doubt that. We’ll see, but he’s reputation is pretty damning.

 

This dude fits right in with Tilman and Patty.

 

Sorry but what do you mean by this? Tilman is his boss. It's not Stone's fault if Tilman tells him he has to give away assets to save money. Either I'm misunderstanding the relationship between employer/employee here, or your post doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If I'm missing something here, please, help me out and explain.

 

Tilman is the GM

 

Tilman is hellbent on ducking the tax, per Iko. So I suspect this is a money-saving measure.

 

Stone works for Tillman....

 

I could have never imagined how fast Tilman has ruined this team. Just sad. Im going to go get really f***ing high and just laugh at the situation. I hope he sells the team soon.

 

I switched to Hardens side now. I hope stone caves into Brooklyn. I have no hope with this franchise under Tilman. I went to the most games ever this past season. I’m glad I got to experience that before this turned into a circus.

 

The backdrop is really important to the story. He would actually be kinda foolish to spend much until the pandemic passes.

 

Sources say: Houston Rockets Rafael Stone hasn’t been active in trading Harden and Westbrook due to not having anyone’s phone number or zoom information.

 

Yeaaaaah so that's over.

We're not using the MLE. Remember, the player has to WANT to come here to use the MLE. If you had a choice to work for a normal billionaire or a megalomaniac cheapskate scumbag why would you ever choose the latter?
