The rebuild and tank finished in 3 yrs I don't know what you are complaining about. Rockets do have one of the best young cores in the NBA you are blind as a bat if you don't see that. Sengun, Jabari, Jalen, Tari, Amen and Cam. that's a great core even rival executives give Stone their props. They should know if what Stone is doing is easy or not.
super duper uber blind? who was the last to be announced to court? who was with Rafaella for Udoka's press conf? Who hid all those shenanigans of KPJ? who had the ball most in his hands? etc etc.. kpj and stone are the reasons why all nba look at this franchise as a joke.
You are the joke. https://www.si.com/nba/rockets/news...A's annual GM,Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers.
That's how you define "franchise player"? lol. But KPJ was #1: Low risk / high reward (emphasis on the low-risk part) #2: Had the ball in his hands cause he was the starting PG (playing out of position, btw) #3: He deserved the ball because, on paper, he was the Rockets best player the past two seasons. #4: On a rebuilding team (so that negates point #3) He's officially gone now so let's relax. From another perspective, KPJ helped the Rockets land 3 consecutive high lottery picks and now he's gone. /queue the music Let it Go, Let it Go! Can't Hold It Back Anymore!
