  1. Mobley was considered but people said they didn't want him because of his height (back) and I also think becasue of Wood….. just imagine Mobley and Sengun in the line up

  2. Lmaooo dude said Jared Allen would’ve been nice lol stfu🤣🤣🤣

  3. Stone shoulda been out a long time ago. Harden trade was a disaster. Jazz got more for gobert. Thunder/George. Ad/pelicans. Trading a superstar you always lose ( well thunder won ) but they got 0 promising picks. They got 0 nba players. Complete disaster

  4. Are you guys serious right now? This GM has hit in every draft since he’s been here restocked are draft assets. And let Silas ride it out while we tank at the same time. You guys dummer you look!😮

  5. Rox are on Year 3 of a complete re-build (reminiscent of the Stohs) and HC was a lame duck job regardless.
    However, there wasn't enough player development, or effort on the defensive end, and that's on Silas.
    I wouldn't have been furious if Silas got his 4th year, given the late season W's….
    But now that he's gone…please, for the love of all that is holy, get a Big-Time HC!
    Sign Marc Jackson, JVG, or an out-of-the-box hire in Nick Nurse, THEN judge Stone.
    Give him a year to get us a 'true PG" and play JG at his natural SG position, and let's see how Jabari, and Sengun develop…

  6. Stone’s judgement day is 12/31/2023.

    Let’s see how this offseason plays out, but he’s gonna be on the hot seat if this team doesn’t start off well next year

  7. Raphael Stone isn't going anywhere for now. The plan was to suck mission accomplished. They didn't want the Brooklyn players because at best the team would have been mediocre

  8. Who looks better than jalen green??? Evan mobley a 7 footer playing power foward

  9. I know Houston media has no patience for black GM's/Coaches, but this take is INSANE. The Rockets are successfully tanking & Stone is doing a GREAT job so far. How can you criticize Stones job, but at the same time admit the Rockets are an attractive young roster with 60 million in cap space? The team has a young core in Green & Jabari, with other solid role players. Stone's successfully 🎉doing his job under the orders of Tilman. The Spurs have the SAME record but nobody's questioning Pop or their FO

    Give Stone his damn credit!!!

  10. Firing Stone would’ve been the dumbest thing they could’ve done this offseason listening to the show is tough sometimes

  11. I'm so sick of the Evan Mobley lovers. Dude regressed this year and looks to be on the path of a Clint Capella who can hit an open J every now and then. He is the fourth option on some nights for the Cavs. Jalen is much better already with a much higher ceiling

  12. Green and Sengun look like the two best players out of their draft class thus far.

  13. You guys are clueless. Rafael Stone is doing a solid job. He will be on the hot seat if he doesn't get this offseason right.

  14. Your Stone takes are way off. I don’t love the guy, but because his picks aren’t all stars yet he is incompetent? Some are not old enough to drink. All show promise.

  15. There is nothing to make sense of. He won 64 games in 3 years. And more importantly than just wins the team never improved under him.He is a terrible coach. The NBA is so watered down that with the talent Houston has a real coach could have squeezed at least 30 wins from this team. My God I would love to see Nick Nurse here next year.
