    They are over the cap and tanking.

    Didn't they build a new practice facility?

    Again, you state your opinion and no basis for it.

    Not trying to pick a fight, i just have no idea where you are getting this belief from...

    Ok, I'll just take the understanding it's not that bad since i haven't seen it and you won't put two sentences together to cite a reason...

    Not calling you lazy but you made as much an effort explaining you won't explain your thinking as it would have taken to do so...

    Btw, i don't have to explain anything to you because you know, ive posted stuff before... works both ways...

    Done with you...

    What is even the point of making a big splash in free agency that year?

    Houston isn't a destination city. We can only get good players in free agency if one of our guys has an existing relationship, we overpay, or we get an undervalued player.

    I'd be interested in a salary dump for picks trade where we take on big contract role players.

    He just responds with nonsense actually. I recently said I enjoyed watching Green and Sengun this last season. I got nonsense back about enjoying losing and having a loser mentality blah blah blah. I never said that. Asked the poster where i said it. Got more nonsense. Realized that I wasting my time.

    The ignore button is great..

    I wasn't even saying he's wrong, i just haven't seen how TF is some awful owner...

    The move for Russ was predicated on appeasing Harden; which is a Morey thing he built as a culture in the organization. TF had the vision to make the decision no one was willing to because they had hope Harden might do something his last couple of seasons...

    I liken it to when Boston moved their guys to the Nets that ultimately led to Brown and Tatum...

    Don't know why anyone would be upset at Tilman for making that statement, essentially, he said what some of us predicted last year ... That they would have money to spend and they'll add a premium talent as a result, one way or another.

    They'll have Wall, EG, Nwaba & Wood all coming off the books to the tune of $86,646,579.

    The only player who won't be on a team option is this years draft pick, everyone else will be on a team option or non-guaranteed deal.

    They will have $24,268,137 in total salary committed to just 7 players plus this years draft picks salary slot on the books. The salary cap floor will be $115,290,000. They'll have to spend $91,021,863 (including this years draft choice) just to reach the cap floor.


    And in the mean time, they'll stick to the process.

    Yeah, Water is Wet.

    So.. you think Tilman needs to Shut Up and Listen?

    Someone should write a book about that

    $86,646,579. coming off the books and the fact that after that point they owe draft picks to the Thunder is a road map that's been drawn and highlighted for you.

    Precisely, thanks for breaking down the money, this has always been the theory of the 3 year rebuild. It’s not unrealistic to imagine watching the Rockets in the 2nd round In 2024. :D

    That's what maybe the deductive reasoning says, but he never stated he was going to spend money. My guess is he will, but people are acting like his statement said he was going to - which he didn't. He could just have meant he knows we're going to suck next season and the following season we should be a better team.
