I got this idea when I read the GM swagger ranking thread. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/02/19/fanhouses-2010-nba-general-manager-swagger-index/ The writer was talking about Kevin Pritchard and he wrote That got me thinking... We need a term for Morey's ownage of GM's I present a think-tank thread where we can come up with one. Mine? kinda crude but MoReaped
I think you misspelled it. Try taking out one of the 'e's. Hm, more accurate but perhaps offensive. I personally think that they should just put a small gif of the ever-famous Daryl pic whenever they are trying to describe Morey's transactions with other GMs. No words are necessary.
Representing one party in a trade as "raping" another is disgusting and offensive. It's trauma trivialization. Would it be acceptable to say that Morey gassed Walsh with Zyclon B and burnt his corpse in an oven?
I see your point. That's why I'm looking for creativity not simplicity. would you call your idea...The Morey Solution?
Absolutely inappropriate and outrages metaphors on display here. So many smug posters inhabit this domain.
We have fun with this Morey >>> all other GM stuff, but this is probably the last thing Morey himself wants to hear. NBA-types probably resents him enougyh for being an "MIT Geek" and not "one of us." Trutfully speaking, he doesn't really rape the other teams, all he does is figure out how to give them what they want while getting the full amount that they are willing to pay for what they want. He didn't do a Jedi mind trick on Walsh. Walsh wanted to dump salaries and can't find a taker with a less demanding offer. Chicago wanted to dump salaries, too, but they found Milwaukee to take Salmons for, I think, 2 2nd round picks, and the right to switch 1st rounders this season (not too valuable, since Chicago isn't doing that badly as a team). The guy is good not because he rapes other teams. He is good because (1) he has good talent evaluation, reflected by the good "hit rate" on even late picks, (2) he pays attention to the small details which some teams don't care about since they like to chase stars-- getting extra 2nd round picks, for example, (3) he's patient-- the guy would rather make no deal than make a bad deal-- probably loses out on some opportunities, but you'd rather have than than get stuck with an Elton Brand contract.
Morey just came to my door and said "I want to spend a hour with your wife!" I said "Hell No!" He then offered me a "Expiring gallon of milk, and a bag of Buffalo Ranch Doritos! I tired to say no, but I got Morey-slapped!!!
Do Me Darryl Who's Your Daddy Oh No (Morey just called) Used Car Salesman Rip Off Hijacked Terroist Bin Laden Gotti GodFather
How about whenever he makes a successful trade, we go: "That's A'Morey!" I think that will be really cool and clever.
