If you're a Rockets fan, and chose to stick with the team, now it's time for a true clean slate. Instead of arguing about his decisions/actions up Moreys resignation, let's argue about what the team do from here on out So far the Silas hire seems to be received well around the league. Lets see what happens from here on out. That doesn't mean I'd blame Tillman if rockets end up in the lottery, or give him all the credit if the Rockets win it all next year. It'll have to be based on the decisions this organization make from now on.
Hire Silas. Check Extend Harden. End these stupid rumors now and prove that Harden will be here for the rest of his career. Hire Shane Battier to be head of Ops. He's smarter than Morey (which is saying a lot) and way more likeable. Let Shane fill in the rest of the basketball operations, he's brilliant and will set us up for a decade of success. Sign Christian Wood using the Full MLE. I want every single dollar possibly spent to be spent. Operate under the hard cap and exceed the luxury threshold. If the team doesn't win in the next two years, it's going to be hard to consider them a real contender. These are the final years you HAVE to go all in. If it works, keep at it if you want, if you don't fine, we just want ONE championship for the bearded GOAT. You aren't going to get hit with a repeater tax. I want guys like Ariza back on this team. He got his payday. Make him a rotation player on a minimum deal. He's out in Miami now with Harden and Tucker. I want every roster spot used. I want 2-4 guys there who are being developed and I want no one other than that to be unplayable. I want top assistants to be paid. I want the stadium to finally be upgraded. You have talked about that since you got here. Give all of your employees at Toyota Center a better place to work.
I will have zero faith in the m-f'er. I will always be a Rockets fan, but this is not going to end well.
from this point on. what a joke. its a damn shame it takes someone to ruin a organization to finally say ok lets start judging now. how pathetic
Yea that's going to be hard to do..... I can understand how this is a new era, but its hard to divorce the recent past.
It’d be weird to start judging him after he dismantled one of the greatest teams of all time, saddled it with a gigantic albatross contract of a declining player and pushed away one of the top GMs in the league. But yes it does get worse from here.
I don’t believe Tilman will do half of these things. They are look and sound great but he has proven to be a “bottom line” owner.
He needs a clean slate in order to do that because this is still Morey's team. Tilman didn't make MDA play small ball. We need to dump Harden and Russ and then we can see what his regime is about.
I've had the same thoughts it's so apparent Tilman didn't **** with Morey what if he turns things around now that he's gone. Morey did control the team. Silas should have been hired years ago
"Look, we now have a clean slate. Let's give the Emperor the benefit of the doubt and judge him from here on out."
Why? He has already destroyed the organization. Lets start when he bought the team and methodically turned it into a Clown Show.
If OP is married or has a SO, I can see him cheating and doing everything wrong in the relationship. Then when he's tired of it/gets caught, now you can judge me from this point on
This. This mother ****** took a huge dump on the Rockets but we are supposed to forget all the stupid things he has done and start anew? Nope. This REALLY sounds a lot like Texan fans trying to rationalize the McNair’s ******** all over the Texans for years.
Sorry I drowned our son in the bath tub, microwaved the cat and set the house on fire... but hey, let bygones be bygones and just judge me from here on out.
So we're just supposed to forget about all the salary dumps ? Starting with Ariza , Ryno / Knight and finally Shumpert ..... which included 2 first round picks and 2 2nds. Not spending the MLE in back to back years ? That long laundry list of cost cutting moves were polar opposite anything Morey had done prior. He turned dimes into dollars , until Ferntits came alone , then he was giving away dollars for pennies. Fk Ferntits and his spoiled ass wanna be GM brat.
