    The Stone slander has to stop. No evidence? Jalen Green, Jabari & Sengun as a 3rd wheel is a fantastic core of young talent. Add Thompson & Whitemore & Udoka as coach and that's evidence enough how good a job Stone's doing. We're arguably better than OKC right now

    Not a single player you named is a good nba player yet so sucking him off for drafting them before they become one is weird.

    I’m not slandering him I’m saying it’s too soon to tell.

    Dear Presti,
    I want to thank you for James Harden for free who took us to Western Conference Finals, watching a MVP in 2018,10 times ALL STAR, 3 times SCORING CHAMP! THANK YOU!
    I want to thank you for Alpren Sengun for free, soon to be ALL STAR, and ALL NBA. Sengun is going to own Chet!
    Morey tricked Presti for Harden and Stone tricked Presti for Sengun
    Morey and Stone: 2 Presti: 0
    The greatest General Manager and still no rings.
    Sincerely,
    Rockets Fan

    Presti is a puppet master in his own tier........

    Presti is if you will a veteran GM while Rafael is just an inexperienced GM who is of the same age as Daryl Morey.

    I got a question for your next poll.

    What's better?

    A Whataburger Fully Loaded
    A **** sandwich

    I think your results will look about the same.

    SGA's numbers in his 2nd year is not much better than Jalen's 2nd year.

    SGA: FG% 47.1
    3P% 34.7
    FT% 80.7

    GREEN:
    FG% 41.7
    3P% 33.8
    FT% 78.6

    By the way, Green shot more 3 pointers than SGA: from GREEN 7.3 to SGA 3.6 ATTEMPTS

    Are we close?

    No - and I say that as a Rockets fan.

    Right now we are not close and we don’t have the assets they have moving forward.

    If you want the Rockets to be better than OKC going forward - then you better pray that Amen Thompson turns into a Hall of Famer and Jabari Smith into a 5 time All Star.

    I didn’t say anyone on OKC is - I said if the Rockets are going to be better than peak OKC in a a few years, that is what it will take - OKC is stacked, lots of depth and a tremendous amount of draft capital….

    Outside of SGA and Giddey, nothing is guaranteed on the OKC front.

    Dort is solid, Jalen Williams game is decent and Chet is still unproven.

    Draft capital is better but they need to draft that talent and bring FA's to OKC.

    I'm looking forward to the showdown vs OKC to see how we match up.

    I mean, losing 5 2nd round picks for absolutely nothing is only the SECOND most embarrassing thing Stone did this offseason. This conversation was completely over the moment he signed Dillon Brooks to that ridiculous contract when China was the only other real competition for his services.
