    CHEAP TILMAN!!!

    ...

    Not that I’d give it to him but $22.6M ain’t a lot.

    Caris is making $16,203,704, $17,500,000, $18,796,296

    Why would we even offer an extension?

    I haven’t seen one single Rockets fan, even the delusional optimistic ones, advocate for resigning Dipo.

    Wtf is Stone smoking?

    Why would he accept the offer, it gives them good reason to package him up.

    It frees up the ability to trade Gordon now who is playing quietly well. I don’t love signing Dipo but 2 more years would be ideal. No one else is coming.

    The only reason that makes sense in my head is they see him as a possible trade asset at that contract

    if they commit big money to oladipo and still have wall on the books...then they will be fully committing themselves to 2 steps below average for the next few yrs...

    which is why this doesnt make sense...stone is watching this team do terribly and must know oladipo doesnt fit..and it will thus hinder the rockets flexibility...my guess is the most they were willing to commit to him is 2 yrs...since it wont impact trade value..i fully expect him to be traded

    exactly, dipo turned down more money from the pacers before he was traded. The rockets knew he wasn’t gonna accept this offer

    All Optics.

    “We really don’t want to give Dipo up, we even tried extending him, but yes, we accept your offer Denver”

    Dipo is an idiot if he thinks anyone is going to offer more than that the way he has been shooting the ball.

    Dipo is starting to play better but the truth is that WOW was an illusion.

    And Wall is the least of WOW imo.
