https://www.change.org/p/fire-rockets-gm-rafael-stone Rockets fans, if you agree with me, please take a minute to sign this petition. The reality in front of us is that our team is that this team is not good enough. We just had an embarrassing first round exit against a depleted Lakers team. Our draft picks are not looking too promising. We still, in my opinion, don’t have a true cornerstone player that we can build around. Our best player, Kevin Durant, is 38 years old and the clock is ticking. Yet, our GM is refusing to make any significant move. Stone's overly conservative approach is ruining our team. We are watching championship windows close before our eyes. Last year, the team desperately needed point guard help after VanVleet went down, and Stone just sat there and did nothing. It’s either a complete dereliction of duty, or he’s simply not cut out for the job. The absolute breaking point for me is Stone's refusal to actively pursue Jaylen Brown this offseason. We had a prime opportunity to go after an elite all-star talent at 29 years old, for a very affordable price. Instead, Stone, who either chickened out or simply is a poor negotiator, refused to put real assets on the table for a star in his prime. You don't win rings by playing it safe and holding onto every asset forever. Look around the Western Conference. Our rivals aren't waiting around. Even the Spurs, who made the Finals last year, added Tobias Harris. Timberwolves got LaMelo Ball. Other front offices are ruthless. We, on the other hand, are one big injury from KD away from being lottery-bound. We have the trade assets. We just don't have competent front office and a vision. We need a GM who isn't afraid to pull the trigger on a blockbuster deal when a player of Jaylen Brown's calibre becomes available.
Signed Take a minute?” I would gladly take longer than that I wish there was a tip jar towards this cause to get Ime and this ****er out
Sick of Stone with his head up his ass. All these "assets" just sitting there and we have our D**ks in our hands. The Rockets are old and are going to be hurt when the playoffs come along. KD will be gone too if we flop again this year.
Another wasted season starts in October. Standing pat is never a good thing as even the contenders are always adding trying to improve. Stone has six straight trade deadlines with zero moves.
