    No Morey should not resign. This is now bigger than basketball. Stand up against communism. DMOREY = Rocky
    CHINA= Ivan Drago

    If I made millions absolutely. I can say that without hesitation.

    A 15 percent paycut for me would basically wipeout any money I'm saving and leave me treading water approaching the mid point of my life. LeBron would have to settle for the gold toilet instead of the platinum.

    Morey besieged by 170,000 tweets as part of a pro-China troll campaign:
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-one-tweet-turned-pro-china-trolls-against-the-nba-11571238943

    “It looks like there were humans at the keyboard for many of these posts,” Nimmo said. “This wasn’t primarily a bot swarm. It was a troll mob. Which is a lot harder to deal with.”

    "The Wall Street Journal’s analysis was based on 168,907 tweets at Morey between Oct. 4 and Oct. 10 captured by Clemson University researchers Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren."

    "It shows that 22% came from accounts with 0 followers at some point last week and 50% were from accounts with fewer than 13 followers. There were 4,855 total users in all who had never tweeted until they replied to Morey, and 3,677 accounts didn’t exist until his tweet."
