Without the burden of having to pretend he is trying to contend with Harden, he can finally indulge in his true passion of cutting salaries and accumulating draft assets.
You still have to pay 90% of the salary cap. No he's definitely not. Any reduction in payroll likely won't match the hit to gate revenue/merch sales/etc. if/when we bottom out.
Should the league support and provide coupons for low income owners like Fertitta? It would surely help front offices and owners stay content over long periods of time and while other are winning championships the amount of money saved could potentially be just as satisfying.
He successfully got me to stop caring about basketball. ClutchFans was my default homepage from 1999 until 2018. Now I check in about once a week, if that.
Of course he’s happy. Building on a 65 win contender, he’s had 2 years of successful moves for the rockets since he’s officially become owner. Most notably trading for westbrick for a year rental. What’s not to be happy about
Yes, he can still pretend to contend with the lifeless carcasses of Wall and Cousins while selling off an MVP for spare parts and salary savings. Oh, the Rockets only won 30 games this season? Just wait until next year when Wall and Cousins get their feet under them! rinse recycle repeat And the usual suspects on this board will continue to happily accept the mediocre product Tilman shoves in them.
His cheapness ruined one of the best teams ever...and chased away our superstar! Morey spent a decade building the rockets into a contender. In just 2 years Tillman dismantled it!
