    This the one man you should set free out of respect. Stop holding him hostage

    Even a late 1st can be packaged to move up in the draft. If the Rockets don't get #1 or #2 we are ****ed fam.

    I don’t think EG has it in him to cause a stink like Harden. I would hold on to him and wait until the last minute to deal him.

    It’s such a joke how we’ve mismanaged this entire situation.

    I feel bad for him being on this team. This was a rebuild from the get-go and I'm not sure why he never pushed like PJ to get the hell off the team.

    Even with that, Stone should have noticed his body language that he does not want to be here. I have no clue why in the hell they want to keep him. If he doesn't want to be here, then find a home for him and let's get compensated.

    This whole situation doesn't make any sense.

    The most bizarre part of all of this isn't CyberX making a dramatic comeback, nor Gordon wanting out. It's Rockets wanting to keep him. Why the **** would you want to keep him? He has not been good on the court and has just been taking up minutes to an already miserable team, but a team that you at least can divide those minutes to prospects that are not 30+ plus years old. I love Gordon. Truly class act and have never seen him show any emotion other than stone Cold ice and dramatic shock any time someone fouls or what he believes is being fouled. He deserves better. ****ing buy him out or send him where he wants to go. You already wasted him since Harden left and he has been nothing but a class act in this dysfunctional hell hole.

    Be done with it.

    Take the four 2nds.

    Find a hidden gem or at least a good role player or two.

    I think they meant false as in, Stone is not going to buy EG out. Gordon likely is pushing for one, and that’s what revived the PHX trade talks again.

    buyout? wtf for? naw... somebody ponys up a frp - or Ego rides the pine after the deadline... then its so long, thanks for the memories...

    any frp - and its done yesterday if its me...

    and IF theres ANY truth to the thought that keeping Ego is leverage at signing Harden... wow... just wow... that would have to be about the stupidest reach i bout ever heard... lol!

    If cyber x knows , that means the rest of the insiders know around the league - 4 2nd rounders is the best offer we are gonna get.

    That ship sailed a long time ago.
    100% mismanaged the situation. Doesn't seem like we offered an extension and have him baby sitting a bunch of kids that aren't being held accountable.

    Stone is absolutely worthless. Spent all this time catering to trash in KPJ instead of improving the roster. Can't wait until he gets fired
