    The Chronicle really is running cheap right now saving on the word count on titles. They left “except money” off the end.

    Look at all these deals in the second round, but Morey is on the outside looking in.

    That’s the quote that made me realize what an idiot Tilman really is. Embarrassing. The guy is so full of himself and so full of **** it’s not even funny.

    OMG shut up. To quote Tywin Lannister - "Any man who has to tell people he's the King is no King at all"... or something like that.

    This is like the 12th time Tillman has tried to create some media narrative that he's really really really not a cheap owner. The more he feels like he needs to come out and say this the cheaper he looks... and the more narcissistic and insecure he is showing to be like the other reality TV fake billionaire we all know.

    According to this draft Tilman doesn’t want to even spend to get a 2nd rounder. Couldn’t even trade Capela for cap space smh.

    Every piece is an asset and value. Trade value. deepest draft, Guy is 55th pick.

    GS has only 3 picks.
    28
    39
    41

    58 was sold.

    GS pay luxury tax, tilman gets luxury tax profits, Buy 2 second rounders make sense bc trade value needed.

    they are better than before.
    The yellow and red are back and Tilman will see how extremely popular that will be

    We've been waiting since 1996 to see it again

    Rockets sported retros during Harden-Dwight era. Les was an arse with the Chinese unis but he wasn't a complete nimrod. At least he spent money on players.

    Tilly still has to put his money where his mouth is.

    Tilman inherited Chris Paul's salary. Les inherited the team that this board was named after.

    The Harden Dwight Clutch City unit weren't exactly that close to the classics. This one at least has the font.

    it's more pure.


    Tilman is a Houstonian and his passion for Houston is real. I will give him time.

    He bought this team cause he loves Houston.

    Les sold the team cause he loves money.

    Jerry Bus never sold the Lakers, his kids inherited it. Jerry Bus was loyal, no matter how bad the team was with Kobe, he was loyal.

    Jerry Bus would NEVER let Hakeem leave if he owned the Rockets. He would overpay him three fold.

    I'll never forgive Les .
