Ben Simmons was always available. Morey was just trying to pump up his value so they didn't have to give us as much in addition to Simmons. Still don't want him.
Prepare to be disappointed. No young star in return and picks with worse protections than you would want.
How could we trust Tilman? He's literally the reason for this disaster. That clown is swimming in debt with no prospects of being able to increase revenue to pay back said debt. I imagine he's spoken with a couple few bankruptcy attorneys at this point. He's running the rox franchise into the ground and you ask that we blindly trust him....?
Stein forgot to add in the part where the Rockets are currently looking for a 3rd team to route Simmons to in order to complete the deal
Morey gonna finesse the Rockets. Walked out on the Rockets (Rockets get no compensation) Gets Harden for can’t shoot Simmons and poo-poo picks
I dunno how good they could have been, but Harden was never gonna give them a chance. I'm ready for it to be over, this franchise holding pattern isn't palatable. Move on and start trying to dig out of the hole our owner put us in.
I've been saying this ever since Simmons was in trade discussions for Harden. Simmons is good...very good...but we need to move him to a third team to get more assets/players back. You can build a team around Simmons...if you want 42-40 seasons.
Don't let Morey finish the hat in Philadelphia. Turn him upside down and shake loose all the assets out of his pockets and sleeves.
