That's the simplest explanation. Tilman overrode both D'Antoni and Morey to make decisions, and in particular one decision, that derailed what remained of the team's hopes of competing for a championship. So they left.
Morey stays on as GM but not officially. China starts to watch Rockets basketball again. Tilman is happy. Morey with 4d chess.
Um, YES. You cant miss 28 straight 3's in a must win game, and somehow think a open midrange shot shouldn't have been a option. That's stupidity in itself. NOBODY copied that crappy azz model because its a gimmick. What teams did is start implementing stretch bigmen, and spreading the court, which ultimately leads to more 3's. This model is MDA model not Moreyball. Do your homework
Whys everyone ignoring the tons of reports that this was all Moreys decision and he had warned Tilman he was thinking about taking time off as far back as a year ago?
Of course if was morey’s decision bc he’s smart enough to know enough is enough and it’s time to gtfoh with a shitty owner that doesn’t let people do their jobs
Why does everyone assume Morey didnt want Westbrook? If yall want to blame someone blame Harden for Russ being here... Tilman is not making basketball decisions here
Uhh because that’s old news and not an assumption. Yes tilman is making the decisions around here. Someone is way behind about reality and doesn’t know what’s going on
It's amazing that the WB trade resulted in Houston essentially losing not only CP3 and a lot of draft picks, but also MDA and Morey.
What are you talking about? Clutchfans rumors is not news... Clutchfans like Morey and they should but that doesnt mean he didnt make mistakes and that doesnt mean anything that went south is someone elses fault
Tf are you talking about. It’s not a cf’s rumor. Tilman himself admitted a long time ago he pushed the move despite being advised not to. That’s 100% a fact. You really need to catch up on news and current events before posting. Yes all this is on tilman. He has 2 years worth of garbage to tell everyone what he’s about. Stop with the bs excuses
Harden is the reason Russ is here and at the time all of clutchfans was for it... And hell up untill the bubble all of clutchfans was still all for it. Russ catches Covid and never gets in a groove in the bubble and all of a sudden its the worst move by the worst owner.
No cf’s was not all for it. The smarter group amongst cf’s always thought it was terrible. Another dumb assumption. Those are a bunch of gimmicks. It was dumb from day 1. And still dumb now. And still be the worst move for the next 3 years unless some dumb team out there takes him. Tilman is the reason Russ is here
Did you just apply Tillman's Razor, you magnificent b*stard? It only applies to your larger private restauranteur, I hear.
6 months ago Westbrook was literally carrying this team my dude... And yes the thread was mostly positive when we traded for RW. The narrative was CP3 was old, hurt, unreliable and expensive which is all still true.
