    Silas isn't close to Adelman man. Silas going to carry the losses of rebuilding. He doesn't look like HC material to me.

    It's worse.

    Martin and Scola were borderline all-stars in their primes. Lowry and Dragic were future all-stars.

    All we have is past all-stars, in Wall/Boogie, who look both to be well past their primes.

    Boogie is done and Wall is a middle of the pack PG now.

    Hmmm could Stephen Silas be the Rockets version of Bo Porter?

    No, maybe the best team in the West is better, but the playoff bar is way lower. There was a year when we had the Lowry, Martin Scola lineup, that you'll need to have 50 wins to make the playoffs. I mean 50 wins. Last year, it only needed 39 wins (converted to 82 basis).

    I actually like Cousins impact on the game more than Wall, and think he has the potential to be the better player of the two

    If he can ever stop getting tossed from the games

    Kevin Martin was better than any player on this current roster.

    EXACTLY! When it's time to contend again here, he'll be an assistant on someone else's staff.

    Adleman was a gangster, his staff really overachieved and developed a lot of our players really well. Back cuts on back cuts son.

    Rick Adelman was my fav coach, but its way too early to judge Silas...I am willing to give him couple of years

    The game threads will be great. No one expects to win, but discussion of development will likely dominate.

    Silas, Wood, Brodric, Tate... we have pieces to look at.

    Hang up the hopes we will be competing in ways like it matters. We opted for expirings than talents in this deal. This is telling that we are not trying to compete. The goal is probably to fool you so you will spend money or energy on Rockets. Tilman is a cheap azz.

    If Tillman was trying to win, he would 've hired someone else. Silas was cheap & available. He looks like he's in over his head but given the situation, he could learn alot.
