I'd be prepared to be disappointed then. Blowing all of our assets and cap space to prevent an already sunk cost from happening is madness.
He also has a bone to pick because the Rockets swiftly pivoted from having a franchise player to not which meant he was demoted. You and others are out for blood at this point.
John Wall blasts Rockets in new interview, accuses team of tanking Also water is wet....... Do people honestly expect for our FO to come out and say we are "tanking"? Hinkie got clipped by the league.
Tyler Hansbrough Responds To John Wall, Says He's Lying And Went To Kentucky Because Of The Bank Of Calipari Not terribly surprising John Wall may have been embellishing things in the interview.
Really preventing the sunk cost is irrelevant. But it does provide incentive to accelerate the rebuild. I just figure after 3 years of being the worst team in the league drafting in the top 3 each year (hopefully) along with having cap space to add veteran talent - It's time for significant improvement.
Playoffs or bust could lead to giving a max to Middleton. I’d rather not force a move or grossly overpay just because we’ve been abysmal for three years.
Rockets' Stephen Silas pushes back on John Wall's tanking accusations. https://www.chron.com/sports/rockets/article/stephen-silas-john-wall-criticism-17726187.php
Well. That's a lame excuse. Maybe trade Gordon for something valuable if there are not enough "practice reps" for guards and continue with the tank... ahem... i mean "rebuild" Everyone except Lakers.
23 20 29 44 46 41 49 43 32- Injured 25- Injured Thats the win totals for the Wizards while Wall was there so how is he criticizing our young players when he hasn't won ****. He was also just as bad as they are because they got worse when he showed up. They won 3 playoff series in 10yrs in a bad Eastern Conference. Wall is a little full of himself and Rockets knew the chances of getting anything for him went way down because the odds he would stay healthy were slim and none the best thing they could do was tell him to go home. Tillman talked about what a bad contract CP3 had, but they managed to trade CP3 for Westbrook then flipped it for Wall who had the worst deal in the league and had been hurt for 3yrs. Its also interesting that the Clippers are worse this year too
For anyone who still takes John Wall seriously: John Wall thinks his Wizards would have beaten LeBron James' Cavaliers in 2017 Almost six years later, and John Wall still rues that opportunity. And in doing so, he even doubled down on what was a questionable take, even back for its time. Speaking on Theo Pinson and AJ Richardson’s Run Your Race podcast, Wall remained adamant in his belief that the 2017 Wizards would have beaten the 2017 Cavs had they faced each other in the postseason. “We was going to beat the s–t out of Bron,” Wall said, with a deadpan look on his face, per Ballislife. “I’m telling you, if you [ask] anybody from the Cavs, they all had one team they did not want to see in the East. They did not want to see us.” Source: Jedd Pagaduan @ Clutch Points https://hoopshype.com/2023/01/19/jo...d-have-beaten-lebron-james-cavaliers-in-2017/ I get that some here may not like the way things are run (you might be right!); but that doesn't mean you should join a John Wall rant. Dude is verging on delusional
Do you really think this could reverse everything? The damage has already been done. The part about the Rockets wasn't even a big part of the podcast but it was the last, well timed for dudes to remember it. Personally I do believe him 89% and he is cursing 11%.
Employee talks about toxic work environment that many here suspect existed. Stans "eMpLoYeE sUcKs At Job WhO cArEs WhAt He SaYs!"
This is no black and white matter, I support the franchise brand, Stone, Silas and Fertitta are temporary names that will fade in time. I also didn't hear Wall calling the Rockets 'trash'. He said he felt he was treated like garbage by certain people 'that are supposed to rep the org'.
Yes, but the Rockets are more than just the front office and temporary ownership. CF is more than this too. The organization doesn't begin and end with certain bald guys. You feel a certain way, I feel a certain way, in the grand scheme of things, none of that matters.
"I'm not tanking. I'm NOT........I just suck as a coach. Suck, like that water making the little whirlpool down the drain....SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP."
