    Who needs a competitive team? Luxury tax savings for Tilman is what we want.

    I'm so broken-hearted. Boo hoo!

    I don't think there is a player in Rockets history that has thrown more egg on my face than DFS.

    Rockets were incredibly stupid to sign him knowing he had major surgery upcoming. I just assumed they knew what they were doing.

    One of the absolute worst players in Rockets history. Everything that he was supposed to do, he could not do at even replacement level.

    Glad that's over with

    how many 2nds we got left damn? We just be fading all 2nd rd picks lol

    That being said, I like the trade. The exception isn't useless and could become a deadline addition for a team trying to shed salary

    Pretty big sign they’re done making moves and not working on something like Jrue Holiday or Trey Murphy.

    2nd rounders in the Nil era don’t have much value.
