    I'm just sad man. We had Coach of the Year, Executive of the Year, MVP, Game 7 conference Finals, and now POOF, all gone. 3 years later. I don't know if any one person is to blame, maybe everyone is. But it's just sad.

    Well, we still have our 6th man of the year, 3pt contest champion at least :rolleyes:

    It’s bizarre how he complained about his “fit”, but the Rockets accommodated him to the point that we changed our whole system for him and traded Capela. All while he put up MVP numbers and played the most efficient basketball of his career before the bubble injury.

    What a r****d.

    Notice he complained only AFTER D'Antoni left.

    After Russ was traded to Rockets playing with Harden and for MDA were the factors that influenced his desire to choose Houston instead of Miami.

    There's no way in Hell that Ferntits wasn't heavily involved. I don't believe it. Tillman used Morey as leverage plan and simple. The "spin" here is ridiculous. Only the gullible believe

    Still can’t believe Daryl Morey let Tyrese Maxey

    Tyrese. F****ing. Maxey.

    Come in between pairing the best shooting guard in the game with the best center in the game.

    He didn't.

    Its part of the Big Lie.

    Rockets never requested a counter offer from Morey. They took Nets deal without seeing if they could get more from 76ers.

    76ers were stunned.

    Poor business acumen, but typical attorney behavior who pounce when they hear what they believe to be a fair deal.

    That's why attorney's make lousy business men.

    Tilman bought a Ferrari three years ago with borrowed money, he stopped changing the oil, then sold off all the parts and accessories, only to install a giant garish wing spoiler that broke off after the first drive. This year, he finally crashed the broken down car into a tree. His lawyer traded the broken Ferrari (and the detached wing spoiler) for 3 used Maseratis, which look great, but are always broken down in the shop. Now everyone has to walk.

    Nah, dude. Just a strained metaphor (simile?) We all know Tilman blows all his money on yachts, not cars.

    John Wall has a strained metaphor.

    Patrick Fertitta chose Rafael Stone???

    Seems like he made a great choice because Stone has been excellent thus far.

    The Rockets ownership is REALLY trying hard to make sure the narrative of how this last 6 months has played out is the one that is quite friendly for them, regardless of how truthful it is or isn't.

    They already had their lackey at the Athletic do a piece, and now they have their mouth piece with the Chronicle.

    #Truth

    This all more BS spin and speaking misinformation into reality. We all should expect another MacMahon piece on same subject soon to complete the trifecta.

    Puff pieces to make the Fertittas, Stone and Silas look better.

    Especially necessary in light of how putrid Rockets on court product looks right now.
