    No disagreement on Silas. Regarding Stone, in all seriousness, based on who is available, who would you replace him with?

    I thought they were about to announce a hard knocks style nba show featuring the rockets...

    Wall was supposed to be the headliner...

    I haven't really looked at who is available. I just know Stone is woefully inept at his job.

    You white knight losers so not surprised you like an inept buffoon like him. It's probably because he was the only gm stupid enough to take your hero KPJ

    If you prefer having the 30th pick or whatever last year to add to everyone else we will be developing vs possibly moving up 10 or so spots in this draft I don’t agree but that’s fine.

    But acting like waiting blew up in Stone’s face is complaining just to complain.

    Looks like John can go ahead and jump on that flight to Atlanta for Lil Baby’s birthday this time.

    It’s with pointing out that the clippers are playing really well right now, and they just got better. It’s not a bad trade. I just think it’s got a good chance to be pretty inconsequential. Guess we’ll find out.

    The clippers fully healthy just lost to the Mavs without Luka. And a bunch of teams in the west just got better.

    none, he might go between 5-8 the way he’s playing now.

    Stine solid GM bad performance at this trade deadline. Held on to EG for way too long and it looks like he did him a favor at the sacrifice of the team.

    Funny if John was with the Rockets for a day how a conversation with him Jalen and Kevin would also the coaching staff likely would really be happy to see him as well.

    Good trade, Stone has killed it drafting in the 15-20 range. Plus minutes are open for JGup now.

    It could be just a few spots but it’s also not a complete stretch this moves us from 30 to just outside the lottery or even in it.

    There are many assistant GM…up and coming guy who will not sit on their hands and have a plan. They would not keep kicking the can down the road and hope for the best.
