    Remind me which players Tilman (or Les, for that matter) has spend the full MLE on.

    I look at actions not words, if they actually use the MLE (as they haven't at all as a trend under Tillman) and have an actual plan to help the team either contend this year and attempt to work with our stars,

    Or they help us rebuild for the future with actions I'm good.

    But if you hurt the team short term and long term to save money it will soon be a wrap as you are no longer taking care of your fans/customers with your actions.

    Use the MLE, this would be the worst time to do a tax saving move. Just think about it.

    If you show consistent action or get results you can win fans back, helping the team win long term is our bottom line.

    This will make you more money long term, which shouldn't have to be said honestly.

    I’ll be shocked if the Rockets use it at all. Fertitta’s actions the last two seasons speak volumes.

    I'm thinking split between Melo and Dwight Howard would be best.

    Really the only way to save the day. If all of this was designed to upgrade Covington to Christian Wood with a few extra picks, and then use the MLE

    Let’s put it this way.

    Is there a single player on that list better than Covington?

    The answer is no.

    Every year Tilman says money isn’t the issue and every year the Rockets trade valuable assets to shed salary or don’t use their MLE or resign their guys.

    They lost two #1’s to save Anderson’s money. They moved picks to get someone to take Ennis... they lost Ariza... they lost Melton... they lost out on trades.

    Tonight was no different, it was a continuation of the last 4 years.

    If I owned an NBA team during coronavirus and black lives matter I would be in rebuild mode too. What a f****** s*** show.
