    Was this Stone or actually a Bill O'Brien trade?

    Remember when everyone was blaming Morey for the **** Westbrook trade. I can’t believe Morey did this again.

    lol, I'd been happier if we kept Oladipo and stone leaked out that the best offer was olynyk/Bradley/pick swap

    Apparently, according to some astute members here, getting Vic was Silas' call and Stone listened to his first year head coach for some reason.

    Levert and Dipo was definitely a huge blunder. I don't even know why Silas had a say when we were trading Dipo no matter what.

    I feel like the Allen Prince move is 100% Tilman being cheap again. He doesn't want to absorb Prince's contract.

    That's the whole point of Rafy dealing with MIA. He wanted to guarantee a better first round pick, in a deep class.

    I don't understand this move at all. Keeping him was going to be lose him in the off-season. Trading for two players that one is a free agent and the other is a team option next season. So both are a wash but a pick swap when the Rockets could be getting Miami's pick that they are helping them be better......why would Rockets do that? Glad I cancelled cable.

    Ok including Brooklyn in the pick swap is helpful. That could be a 10 spot move up next year.

    I know that a lot of Rockets fans are disappointed right now, but I hope that no one is calling for Stone to get fired.

    I have a dread feeling that if Stone was fired then Tilly would make his spawn the new GM.

    Rockets didn't want LeVert and his contract... Don't know how many times this has to be stated.

    I respect your effort in trying to find some sort of brightside.

    We have a huge hill to climb and it may be a long time (if ever) when we are consistently in the playoffs wifh a seed between 2 and 6

    Yeah as another poster said Miami needs to suck in case the Rox fail to get the top 4 pick.

    Stone just made Miami better for nothing I'd rather keep a disgruntled Dipo than make Miami much better for a swap.

    Too deep for Tilly's pockets. Throwing money at Oladipo is cool though?

    Mind boggling

    What difference would it make? lol At this point I'll let Patty Fertitta call the shots just to shake things up.

    Patrick becoming GM is going to happen anyway. Stone isn't going to be in that position long. Doesn't really matter anyway. With Tilman at the helm they're going to suck regardless
