    Stone better start understanding the basketball element of basketball also, or I doubt he'll ever win anything in the NBA.

    With Bob Myers now being connected with Philly and Masai now in Dallas, the rockets are really missing out on some high-level GM talent. I hate it.

    Unfortunately, we're stuck with the lawyer for the foreseeable future.
    2 botched high picks, crappy trades, no trades, horrible FA acquisitions, never selling high on players, Ime's contract...
    The pros used to outweigh the cons.
    Definitely not anymore.
    He sucks.

    His actual first move was thinking Victor Oladipo and John Wall with Christian Wood at C could compete.

    I'm tired of Stone being the pleasing nice guy. I know he did a lot of damage control when Morey left since we had that "assets" bad image but I thinks its time for a change.

    I wonder if this had as few participants in the Sengun is most overrated poll. I also wonder if there was an actual poll or did these guys just make it up, since I’m sure it was anonymous. I mean the National Enquirer spots Aliens and BigFoot every other day.

    Stone calling Nix a lottery pick talent says all I need to know about his drafting skills as a GM.

    Stone didnt even draft Nix in the lotto he got him undrafted. Lots of players have lotto level talent converting that talent to production is another story entirely.

    Did you know Presti didnt only say Ousmane Dieng was a lotto talent he also drafted Dieng in the lottery. According to your logic Presti also sucks at drafting.

    If this yr’s nba draft concludes without the rockets picking in the 1st round, Stone should be fired for sitting out back to back drafts. It really can’t be justified. It’s incredibly stupid and maddening.

    I think just about everyone has had enough of Stone. My guess is that he gets one more year before he is fired, I just hope he doesn't burn it all down on his way out the door.

    Stone could acquire more Net FRPs (acquired FRPs minus traded away FRPs) than all the other teams combined since he's been GM, and people would still want to fire him.

    Haha yeah, what’s the point if he’s going to select the wrong players.
