    It's obvious a lot of our fans don't understand buying, owning and then maintaining.

    Again if cp3's hammy doesn't give out, and his play does not drop significantly the following year, we win it all. Titles mask a lot, ask Golden State.

    Capela became a scrub in one series, despite being paid as a star, who predicted that? Is Tilman not paying his salary?

    I never liked Les and the fact he took our 2 titles with him just was the icing on the cake.

    If anyone should be taking the 2 trophies with him is Hakeem "the dream" Olajuwon who dragged a bunch of role players and an aging all star to titles. Not Les Alexander.

    Tilman has only been owner less than 5 years...... Chill y'all. Grade him then, the move for Westbrook is a ballsy move not an analytical one, .... this is Harden and Tilman saying "**** it
    We let Sleepy Dantoni do it his way and we let the nerd do it his way, now lets go get Westbrook and just ball out".

    Let's do what we do best..... Support, not let a LA biased media force a narrative down your throat.

    Im 100% behind Tilman.

    I'm not gonna question how cheap he is in this situation. Mainly becuase I don't believe Iggy is worth 37M in total. I don't know if he takes us over the top at the age of 35. If it was for someone like Robert Covington I would be a bit more concerned.

    While it might be because of money they don't want to pay him, I wouldn't want to either.

    I gave Tilman far too much credit.

    People(not me) are upset tonight because they didn't expand the Westbrook trade, not because of Iguodala. :D

    Bracing myself for Tilman to duck it again. It really might happen. This dude has shown more commitment to dodging the tax than he has fielding the best team possible. Believe it when i see it.

    Complete horseshit.

    Seriously. The worst trade in Morey history. All we had to do is take on 1 more contract to flip and I would have stayed cooled off.

    tilman has an excuse of repeater tax again.

    morey has an excuse of the owner making him do it when he inevitably gets fired because of this deal.

    I can't wait until 2024 and 2026. Hopefully we aren't losing pick 5.

    Edit: Can't wait until CP3 is flipped to Miami this week and OKC actually gains an asset from it.

    Decent chance Morey walks to another team before he is fired. Pretty much no chance he’s hear in a few years anyway, though.

    Even Pippen, V-Span, Royce White, Derek Fisher, Pau Gasol, Yao's foot, Tmac's back combined didn't do this much harm to the team.

    so is he saying we offered the snt with Shump - and Memphis rejected it... or was Tilman not willing to foot the bill? @BimaThug

    inquiring minds want to know... lol

    Same posters who were shocked they didn't expand the Westbrook trade gonna also be shocked when Shumpert
    -signs with another team
    -signs for the minimum
    -signs a deal clearly not made for future trade purposes

    :D

    Lol Iggy ain't coming here if he gets bought out. He's LA Bound and will prob hit some big 3s against us again in the playoffs.

    He will sign here because we'll have our pick of the buyout candidates.
    He wants to win, we're the 2nd most winning team over the last 10 years
    We can connect him to China
    No state taxes
    and we saved the rest of our MLE for him! Other teams can only offer the minimum.
