While I think this is true, it’s still wrong. Rivers was bought out before Houston picked him up. House was in the G-League and no other team made a waiver claim for him when he was cut/ PJ Tucker is now one of the most valuable role players in the NBA https://twitter.com/tim_nba/status/1326872427784245248

Tucker is underpaid, but he signed the contract and has actually gotten a brand because of Houston - king of the corner 3, sneaker king etc. Does he get the shoe deals and footlocker money playing in Toronto or Phoenix?

Meanwhile Houston has helped save Ben McLemore’s career. Jeff Green was a joke before his time here when he suddenly looked pretty damn good.

Trevor Ariza might want an apology from Houston, but maybe he should look at what’s happened to him since leaving - it’s been pretty much a disaster in every regard except getting his bag

And honestly, the absolute gall of Danuel House to chirp up, after what he pulled in the bubble. You’d think he would act with some humility and just get his head down and hoop right now

It’s time for Houston to have some big boy conversations, that’s your culture reset. Eric Gordon, you think you can run an offense? Great, that’s about to be pretty valuable in Silas’s offense I think. Now can you run a pick n roll without dribbling the ball of your foot?

D House, you’re unhappy with your role? Let’s find a trade market for you, cause nobody wanted you literally for free 2 years ago when you were in waivers, and clearly nobody was ponying up the full MLE in the summer either

PJ wants an extension? Great, now is the time to hammer that out, not last year. You can get a hefty raise but it’s a 1+1 with a team option.
