    I'm going to go ahead and say it's not good when this is how your franchise cornerstone responds to the news that your team fired his general manager.

    It's the Timberwolves -- they seem to have a new franchise cornerstone every few years, so no biggie!

    it's definitely evident that Glen Taylor is the problem.

    Hmm, well he did sort of screw over the assistant coach in waiting when he hired Chris Finch without any notice. Oh well, what's good for the goose......

    Feel bad for him, but why does this keep happening to him? Didn't a similar thing happen to him when he was GM in Dallas for like a month? Does he not get along with people?

    So they got rid of Rosas who worked with Morey as a Rocket and replaced him with Sachin Gupta who worked with Morey as a Rocket and also worked with former Rocket Sam Hinkie as a 76er... nice. Morey loved him some Gupta, too.

    It's interesting that he left the Mavs due to disagreements, I think within a few months after he was hired, and now this ... hmm ...

    Well.... no chance of Sachin Gupta coming back to the Rockets in an executive capacity.

    Because of his association with Morey or something else (other than he's running the TWolves for now)?

    Because he has the Wolves job now.

    There were rumors of him leaving the Wolves organization before Rosas was let go.

    Breh couldn't even get a "mutual agreement to part ways" like nearly every GM gets these days, breh didn't even have time to report he was taking time off to be with his family.

    So, could this, the final move in the Rosas/Minny saga....perhaps be tied into them not getting Ben Simmons...

    That's why that franchise will never win. Its not the talent its the lack of good leadership

    Hard to see this not having to do with Simmons or another blockbuster trade. My guess is he said no I won’t do it. You can fire me if you want him so bad and Taylor took him up on it.

    The issue in Dallas was the Donnie Jr. BS where he figured out real quick he wasn’t really in charge and it wasn’t what he signed off on. He had no agency in Dallas with Nelson and Cuban.

    I guess we’ll know in the next week or two if this has to do with Simmons.
