    $10 tip jar bet? (Assuming we're all still alive in 2027)

    I bet we will never get it as a first. I'm not certain, but I am leaning that way.

    All that matters to Tilman, getting below the cap.

    I urge people, don't go to the games, don't buy the jerseys, don't buy anything Rockets and hope he sells the team eventually. The only way we get out of this mess.

    He IS the most hated man in Houston right now.

    It's not even close.

    If those guys have any sense, they will not come here whilst Tilman is the owner.

    Rudy tomjanovich - never underestimate the heart of a champion

    Tilman fertita - never underestimate the wicked heart of a cheapskate.

    Has nothing to do with the pandemic, Tilly has been doing this from day ONE when he was gifted the Rockets in 2018.

    Something is brewing and i trust in Stone! I think he has something up his sleeve. He wants to prove to the world he belongs!

    They waited right before the draft and stuck a big fat middle finger in the face of all Rockets fans.

    Stone is going to do what Tilman wants him to do. Stone could have the greatest move lined up and Tilman can deny it because it takes him over the luxury tax and he's not paying that.

    Why duck under the tax now? Luxury taxes are only calculated end of year.

    I’m thinking this legitimately has to do with us opening up the larger MLE for an impact player. Prove me right Tillman please!

    Why the $4.7m for the 2nd round? My guess is so they take arizas contract

    Or this is Stone doing the best he can.

    This is what it feels like post-Morey and left with an average to below average GM.

    Hollinger whiffed a bit on what the 2nd Round Pick payment was for.

    The Detroit pick in a future draft is probably better than the 16 in this draft.

    That is correct. We paid them so Tildo could save money. Hooray.

    For all the **** we give the media

    I really hope they bash the **** out of tilman . Can we get charles barkely to go on a rant on how cheap tilman is on TNT during the season opener ?

    I know it wont make any difference for cheapass, but at least its embarrassing

    I was a bit pissed at everyone before.

    now I’m just pissed at Fertitty.

    DM, MDA, Harden, Westbrook, everyone else upset.... I get it.

    You are correct that it all started because Fertitta had to take out massive loans to buy the Rockets and should never have been allowed to purchase the team. The pandemic has only made his financial situation much worse. He’s in over his head owning a professional sports team.

    Can we package all these picks for A Gordon and Mo Bomba, there were reports that Orlando and Houston had these discussions
    Then use the MLE to sign Ibaka

    Westbrook
    Harden
    Mo
    A Gordon
    Ibaka
