    I'm sorry OP. But this is a terrible thread.

    Morey made some mistakes. Sure. Every GM has.

    But think about it. It seems like he had to let Parsons out of his contract. Parsons gets a huge contract, and in the very limited time that Morey had to decide what to do, he goes out and finds a player who fits our needs better for half the price. Think about that. In a limited timeframe, he finds a better fit at a better price. That's incredible.

    At midnight the night of free agency, the reports are that Morey met with Kyle Lowry first. But Kyle Lowry didn't want to come to Houston, he chose to stay in Toronto. I'm not sure where you are coming up with this idea that we could have gotten Lowry.


    It was a roller coaster offseason. We had a well televised swing and a miss, and the national media said that we botched everything and might even miss the playoffs. But I think we are slowly proving that Morey recovered nicely and definitely did not botch that offseason.

    Ok. So if the Rockets heard that Bosh had interest in coming here, and we did not create cap space for him, how do you think the Rockets community would have taken it. The free agents botched this off season, not Morey.

    I don't know how you can say that'd we'd be good if we'd kept parsons because we would not have a large amount of the players we have now for cap reasons. I like what blacks been doing, but I'm going to echo the sentiments of past posts and gamble his inexperience will be taken advantage of down the road. Would not mind trading capela
    for mozgov and let black develop down in the valley. Think this team is one more legit backup big man to be a complete threat

    I think Morey botched the offseason........and then quickly fixed our offseason with the Ariza signing cause if we missed out on Ariza too who knows where we'd be.

    This is cherry-picking and spinning facts to suit your narrative, just to hate on Morey for the sake of hating Morey.

    I understand when a public figure who you don't like gets accolades you think he doesn't deserve. It can be tough to admit you're wrong, especially when it's about someone involved in an organization and sport you hold dear.

    As many have pointed out, Daryl Morey isn't perfect, and has made mistakes. However, I appreciate his tenacity and his humility, and I wouldn't take him over any GM in the league right now.

    I like the thread rating system in general, but allow me to lodge a complaint. It should be "Turrible" instead of "Terrible."

    JCDenton is one of those trolls that purposely provoke for reactions. Either treat him like the jester he is and laugh off his intended provocation or ignore him. Either way, your intelligence will thank you. If you have doubts about my claim, simply search back in his posts and take a look at his wild claims of being a statistics genius and ludicrous graphs. If you feed trolls, they get bigger and bolder. If you ignore them, they go away because their type of loser personality demands attention.

    Morey should have kept our core of Scola, Kevin Martin, and Budinger together.

    Not 1... not 2 ... not 3...

    He didn't botch the offseason?

    He swung for another homerun and struck out. Yeah.
    But he still significantly improved the tean. Ariza, Terry, Papanikoloaou,
    Etc.

    More like Morey took two huge swings and misses, then choked up on the bat and gutted out an infield single.

    By the way, JCDenton is a well-known troll of the worst order. I am only stopping into this crap thread to deliver its richly deserved one star.

    Hey Look!! Someone gets it.

    Not sure which is worse, the childish troll who started this thread or the people who don't have enough snap to realize when a thread does not deserve to be taken seriously.

    Hey JC, 7-1 while being statistically one of the best teams in the league so far is not a good time for your character to return with his patented moron magnet thread, it just makes you look even more clueless than you really are.

    Imagine how good we would be if JC Denton was prom king and I was a girl and I was prom queen and someone poured a bucket of blood on my head and I got mad and used mental powers to make the heads of all the Dallas Mavericks explode and then JC Denton dunked it from the three point line, every single play.
