You don’t think Tilman had anything to do with it?

Stone has done well in the draft, but man if it isn’t obvious that he’s a step down from Morey.
Edit: Morey built the best team that never won a chip only because they were facing the most rigged team ever assembled. I don’t believe for a second that Stone, as he stands now, could’ve orchestrated that.
That being said, I genuinely love his draft picks. Who knows, maybe he’ll approach success differently to Morey by setting us up with homegrown talent. Build us up like Golden State, San Antonio, or Denver. I’d be all for it, but he better make sure we nurture this talent and not blow it out our asses like we did the past two seasons.

KPJ was a perfect tank commander last year. If it had worked out you potentially get to fill your PG gap. If it didn’t, you get a high draft pick and can easily dump him. Last season was our last chance to be bad. And we did a great job. If we continue to shit the bed going forward then Stone’s seat will be hot.

I feel like it was the organizations plan to give him the space to show off talent, a team friendly contract, and then trade him last off season. they even had rumors about trading him, but no teams were really interested

Nah this is line of takes is overblown. He was more experienced than Jalen and very clearly a better playmaker. If you put the ball in Jalen’s hands more mayyybe he develops into a better playmaker than what he is right now but maybe he struggles even more. Jabari sucked last year. And Sengun should have been more of a playmaker but it was like one year and he did it a bit anyway. Did have the ball too much? Yes. Was it reaallly that big of a deal? No, probably not.
We’re now at the point where raw information has stopped flowing so the rockets “media” needs to start reaching for content

On field hes always been good despite being played out of position and under a poor coach, but event he front office knew he couldn’t be a starter and he was the first person from the starting 5 to have a vet be called up into his place, we took a punt on him and gave him a 2nd chance which sadly didn’t work out due to his own attitude, on field he would have been a great role player

So, who would you like to see as an upgrade at GM? Who makes that decision? Daddy’s money Patrick or till man himself?

The dude is 23 years old, like he isn’t a vet. Imo he was a better play maker than jalen and also had a lot of potential.

Prioritizing is a bit extreme, Jalen played a lot,KPJ upside was never in question, it was always the big IF he could get it together off the court. Rockets were in the phase of pile as many assets with high upside while losing phase in 100% of the seasons stone has been here.
Fact remains is he has gotten the rockets Green, Sengun, Tari, Bari, and we will see if he hits on Amen or Cam. Everyone chill
