Would you give an extension this offseason to Jalen Green or Alperen Sengun? Also would trade the Nets pick the Rockets have in the upcoming draft.
Congratulations on consistently beating the other podcast channels with the current news. I appreciate your dedication.
Ime and Rafael are certainly the odd couple in the NBA with Ime being Oscar Madison and Rafael being Felix Unger. When Stone was asked if he feels the Rockets need certain additions to the roster to improve, he said he liked the team we have now and basically internal growth is all they need. I look at Ime as being more aggressive and I don't think that answer sits well with him one bit. Stone might deserve his contract extension for getting us where we are now, but if he doesn't make moves to quicken the rebuild I can see him getting fired or Ime resigning to coach somewhere else. Ime is so much better at press conferences than Stone. Stone is annoying to listen to and watching him squirm in his seat is as bad. I think if Tilman had hired Frank Vogel, Stone would be more comfortable, but then again he might be out of a job because there is no way we finish 41-41 under Vogel. If we had traded 3 first round picks to Chicago at the trade deadline for Andre Drummond I think we would have made the playoff. We could have received 2 of those 3 picks from Dallas by shipping Tate out. We hardly even used Tate after that. Bad choices by Stone. He is not the one. I don't care if Drummond turned out to be a rental either.
Extending Stone is a huge mistake. He's still talking that bull about not needing to make changes to the roster when the lack of shooting is and has been glaring and Tate, Boban and several other guys are wastes of space.
It’s funny cause I remember when someone asked him to put a number on it last year 😂😂
bs from stone on and on
