    Agree these things should be done without leaks in the event they don't happen. But why I think they do;

    We live in a different world than the 90's. Nothing is secret. And nothing ever will be. It's just easier to wear the truth than hide it because you can't hide it. Players names are going to get tossed out.

    Second thing, If Capela, Gordon, and Tucker were loyal before. They won't be anymore. Players generally look out for themselves these days anyway, but if there was loyalty, it's gone. Spent. And better to move on to players who at least think they are wanted.

    Lastly, Morey is likely tweeting for his life right now. Big contract or not, he's on the horses end of a pineapple turnover cake. It's his only way to verbalize his worth before the media rips him from the position, and they will do it. So he as to try and change the narrative. Like I said before, I get it, but it never works.

    You can't get them all silly, oh especially when they don't want to come here, duh! So we would be complaining if he didn't try, would we not? One of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't type deals".

    Warriors just traded a broken All-Star for an All-Star.

    Haha Rockets really becoming a toxic environment with everything out there in the media. Tilman might fire Morey sooner than later. Idiots :)

    every since Tilman bought the team, it's been all talk.

    It's been 2 years and the first thing Tilman promised was to fill the lower bowl for television... STILL HASN'T HAPPENED YET

    idk why Morey has to go on every tv show and podcast talking about how great we're going to be. I don't see any other championship GM doing that before winning any rings.

    If Jimmy choose MIA, then it's his choice. On Rox's front office, I rather they tried then never pursued. I honestly could careless what the rest of league think. Sometimes going public with a pursuit is to pressure certain teams to make a decision.

    If a drawback, it is that the current roster hear their name in trade talks, so I sympathize. Next year, some will be back. That said, this happens with all NBA teams and it is part of the biz.

    These leaks have sizzled out all the fireworks.

    Disappointed is an understatement.

    I used to like Morty's candor, but not if it pisses off his rivals and we get screwed out of deals people would normally make

    I don't really enjoy this owner speaking out there. Saying stuff during Mike D. Negotiations. Also saying things like We can't win with just two stars. I bet that gives players a lot of confidence.

    Yes, but him not coming here is not the problem silly. The WAY in which we coveted him was tasteless & without class. Our organization lacks morals at times

    The fact worth noting is that other teams boards are people too, they listen to all that whining and **** talking in media... and then people are mad that nobody wants to help us but they help Pat Riley etc? Morey must come off as a non-bball geek and with his trash talking some of other executives and agents must purely dislike him. Why we don't have any of respected ex-players in the structures? Imagine the difference in approach when Robert Horry with his 8 rings and alpha male genes is talking to you instead of some non bball geek... that's the reason why Elton Brand just comes in and gets **** done

    Lol. I can't believe some of you at times. Daryl Morey has a REPUTATION for talking too much. He's rubbed players, coaches, agents & other GM's all the wrong way. Him publicly dangling our own players names & going on national TV courting superstars we can't afford hurts us. There is a right & wrong way of doing business, and Morey doesn't get that. All he knows is numbers on a calculator
