Didn't he make top 10 or 15 for something last season? KPJ is lucky. He really should be playing for his 3rd team now but was given another chance. That luck is running out though with the emergence of Nix and drafting of Washington. One more pouting attack and he receives the popular name "street clothes".
Nix not going to be on this team pass this year, and I don't see Washington as anything more then a back up... if we get a top 2 pick next year Scoot will be the PG going forward, But KPJ been working hard this off season if he puts it all together it will be hard to let him go, main issue when we had harden the first few years was just not having a PG for him until he became the playmaker himself during the MDA era. I don't want this same mistake to happen with Green.
I've considered this angle... basically bc i felt we had a toxic environment... Murray had basically turned the reigns over to a narcissistic ass in Harden - and was trying to keep his house of cards intact... While running off in cockeyed directions like small ball... pushing 3s to the nth degree... Why did we keep Bobby Brown - was he Harden's bag man? and while I agree that a culture change was desperately needed... when you have a championship contending team... you wait for the house of cards to fall before you start gutting the place... Imo the beginning of the end was trading CC... yes the WB trade was more detrimental... but when we traded CC and went all in on small ball, it was evident that hubris and ego had consumed the org... we made it not about the players and their efforts - but more about if our suits could figure out a way to juke the system...
Ive been saying all this time, Tilman is the best owner in the league..... We did not lose Harden, we got rid of Harden the one man franchise killer.... See where Philly ends up in a couple of years, rebuilding again... Tilman's only mistake so far has been Silas, even then there might be something we dont know... For a coach to be this bad it might have been on purpose... So many haters gonna have to eat crow or carry on with their stupid hate points to try and save face.....
that won't happen, bro. He had skills since day 1 it isn't about it. I feel like they are putting him into the role he doesn't fit (playing point)
I don't have any issues with Patrick at all. He's a very nice guy, from what I've heard. He clearly has a genuine interest in the team. If he's been in on decisions, his influence has been either benign or positive, based on the outstanding results I've seen during the last two drafts, and he was in the room with Rafel during them. Don't ask me about his father.
Idk how there can b tilman fans. Sht owner avoided going all in to pay luxury tax when we had a championship caliber team. Says all the right thing but does the opposite to win, he wanted to tank cause it's cheaper. The only nice thing I can say about tilman is that he is smart enough to stop meddling and rely on folks who actually knows what they r doing. But who knows if his ego will make him meddle again. He's better than Dolan and the other shtty owner so far. But he doesn't really deserve praise for being at least average, probably a c- if I was to give him a grade
Dude hasn't won anything except the worst record for two years straight. Why are people so eager to frontload success? Thread is at least three years early
Oh jeez. You were saying this after he said Chris Paul was the worst contract in sports? After he destroyed a championship caliber team in year 1? After he traded for the corpse of Iman Shumpert, the corpse of Branden Knight, etc. After he dragged Mike Dantoni, one of the nicest guys in the world, around on contract negotiations and told the league he was too old? After he installed his son as an omnipresent member of our basketball ops team? He's working his way back to neutral right now and the jury is still out.
He went from trying to find that 5% to about 95%. Good thing Harden wanted out while he was at the top of his game, otherwise that Paul/Westbrook trade would have hurt the franchise for years to come. That was the best thing that could have happened to the Rockets. Tillman didn't really choose to rebuild. He made some mistakes (with zero accountability), his star player wanted to leave, so this was the best option. He seems to have inherited a great staff. I really love what Stone n' company has done with the team since Harden's departure.
Yeah, I was... Because at the time what he said about Paul could have very well been true. It took a drastic diet change and effort for Paul to reignite his career. Its like saying John Wall is the worst contract in The NBA right now and all of sudden this man comes back and turns The Kings into a contender next year. Morley traded for Shumpert and Knight, MDA has always been a gimmick coach that also jumped ship when things got bad. No, Tilman did not destroy a "championship team".... That was James Harden, that was James Harden trading Paul for Westbrook. That was James Harden choking every single year when it mattered. The Rockets had one, only one year during Harden's whole tenure that we can honestly say they could have gone all the way. That was in 2017, Paul went down and The Rockets were up at the half in a game 7. You would think Harden would come through and do something. Nah, he was halfway out the door to a strip club. Tilman, did not destroy a good team. Tilman is rebuilding the mess Harden/Morley/MDA left him with. And doing a fantastic job so far.
The dude inherited a 65 win team and it crashed and burned within three years. I can't exactly forget that. Props to him for getting out of the way here lately, I guess.
"Emergence of Nix"? When did this happen? I watched every game last year and saw almost nothing emerge,
I just think some of you are either being ignorant, or don't see the bigger picture. How can you judge a HC on team that isn't trying to win? We are rebuilding and also establishing a positive atmosphere around the organization. He's the perfect man for this young roster
Good lord....the delusion. A tried and true conservative, on his knees in front of a billionaire. Tillman is a ****ing moron.
There’s so many fat people Tilman is winning rockets future looks awesome I get the Les Alexander fans were shocked when he sold the rockets But he only cared about China money And when Yao left , that’s it Les is going home to Florida
