    Tilman is very cheap when you consider how rich he is now, he is one of the richer owners but comparatively spends little.

    However in a vacuum I would say he is not cheap compared to other owners he is prob average to above average in spending. Leslie Alexander for example never even spent for a gym whereas Tilman spent 75M on a new practice facility. However compared to the 500M Spurs spent on their facility it kinda false short.

    Leslie might have been even cheaper, he at least demanded quality from the GM.

    Sure, sure, one of the poorest owners but demanded mediocrity above all.

    I’ll never forget that Tilman Fertitta’s son Patrick helped push the Russell Westbrook trade. Such an awful deal.

    And with Tillman being cheap, I just don’t see the Rockets ever going into the second apron to fully maximize a championship window.

    It was Stone that convinced Tilman. That’s despite his boss - Morey - advising against it.

    Low character guys. Udoka, Stone, Patrick. We’re severely lacking in talent as far as management goes. Udoka is the guy will all the offensive ideas here lol

    Can’t trust these dudes with the check book. His son, lawyer, and grit and grind coach just spent 130 million dollars a season on professional basketball players that can’t run a sub 5 second 40 yard dash.
