Will the winning lure the Tillman into a false sense of security about continuing cheapness?

    The team still needs more talent to maximize its chances for winning it all.

    boring narrative ... worse than ESPN stuff

    good thing we signed Ennis instead of Luc, because Luc has already missed 11 games ... he's done.

    Even an Enn15 Clubber must realize that we could have signed both him and the Prince.

    Gayass thread like always lol.

    The idea that the rockets shouldve paid trevor ariza 15 mil is ridiculous. Rockets were 15-1 without ariza last year and are picking it up this year since cutting melo.

    Let this narrative die already. Tilman paid a boatload for the team and is currently paying luxury tax rn.

    Very cold take op.

    So we could have bought two decent cars -- one that can be driven every day, and another that's always at the mechanic's.

    Awesome plan. Sign me up.

    Luc is done. You'll be glad we still have the MLE to spend on a multiyear for Clark, and possible buyout candidates.

    I'm pretty sure The Tilman still defers to Murray in human resource matters. He just expects some return on his investment.

    I really hate to say this but its true, he's been out with a knee injury and even when he was playing, he wasnt cracking the rotation there.

    Why didn't he get surgery? Any news on that front?

    And the beauty of it all Trevor will be back with the team at the trade deadline.

    I'm hoping we get both Ariza and Luc back at the trade deadline. If Nene gets healthy, and if Knight is a serviceable backup PG, then we'd be stacked going into the playoffs.

    FFS I hope not ….

    Wouldn't mind seeing a couple additions - a backup big and either a wing or CP3 insurance.

    Did you read the thread? Luc is done. He never got surgery on his shoulder which was clearly necessary and hes already been out 11 games this year with a bum knee. Theres a reason the Rockets moved on from him. He wasnt even playable in the playoffs.

    We’ll win when our scrubs become better scrubs.

    Till then Tilman needs to stave off bankruptcy.

    It’s [p]en155*

    So are you implying our playing style had something to do with him being done?! Being run into the ground at an advanced age?
