Morey usually fixes his mistakes, do you still want him as your GM?

Weird framing. It assumes all of Moreys moves are going to hit. When I’m sure Morey is just thinking of it probabilistically.

This team with either Markieff or House would be deep. Off season FA non-hits and salary cap restrictions be damned!

 

Well stay tuned.

 

I think it's hysterical how on ClutchFans, you're either a homer or a non-fan, a nuthugger or a hater.

Anyone having a nuanced, lots-of-gray-area opinion on something is still slotted into one of those categories.

Don't think signing Lin totally ruined the Rockets for years to come? You're a Morey nuthugger!

 

At the time Lin and Asik were acquired heading into the 2012 season, it looked like Morey was finally going to tank but make it look good to Les.

Then he made the trade for Harden, and the Rockets made the playoffs for the first time in 4 years.

 

If Morey is fired or resigns with the new owner we have, the team is doomed.

 

I think Morey did a perfect job by fixing the problem. Everyone makes mistakes. Let's point out GS GM mistakes.
There was a very big mistake GS general manager made last season.
When Andre Iguodala was injured and out for 5 games in conference finals , GS had 5 big men and no wing to replace him.
All 5 big men were not any good and waste the roster spots. I still don't think GS GM has fixed the problem this year.
Raptors can beat GS if one of Boogie or Iguodala were injured and out.

 

it's really hard to find a good GM in this league. it's even harder to find a GM who can do a better job than Morey does. I'm sure there's maybe 1 or 2 better GM out there, but they are also signed to other teams.
Morey got us Harden( by luck or not). it's a fact.

 

Most guys would live and die with their decisions and go down with the ship. We see all the time that excuses are given and there is a lack of accountability.

I heard Morey earlier this year say Melo was “on me”. He fixed it. Everyone saw the issues and he jumped on it almost immediately.

DM was not afraid to dump Ennis even though on a minimum deal, with the team sorely lacking and in need of 3&D wings. Was it in part to get under the luxury tax line? Yes in part, but also because he has a plan and Ennis just didn’t work the way that they had hoped. In fact we all know Morey has plans A thru Z.

Morey has been up against so many things in his time as the Rockets GM, more than we get to see.

Point of my rambling is I’m riding with Morey. Where were the haters last year when the team won 65 and made the conference finals?

Morey is accountable, able to turn mistakes around quickly and improve upon those mistakes. Who wouldn’t want that? Why are we forgetting the countless great moves Morey has made? I know I’m not.

 

Morey looked and sounded depressed in his last TV interview. Someone should really check on the big guy. Is working for Tilman a death sentence?

 

Danny Ainge is very overrated. He gets F in my book this season. Most GMs are really not good. It's hard to find a good GM. David Griffin knows how to spend the big money.
Actually there is only 5 GMs get Grade A in my book this season: rankings
Raptors
76ers
Bucks (the best team so far regular season)
GS
Nuggets (use cost saving system to win)

 

I don't give grades to people until I see the results.

 

Has some results of improvements already:
76ers acquired Butler and Harris. Raptors acquired Kawhi and Gasol.
All Big 4 in the East have very good rookie contracts.
OG Anunoby ---- 23th pick
Siakam ----- 27th pick

 

If Morey were fired, he would have a pick of jobs within a week. That's because he's really good.

 

This

 

Still waves the flag for context and nuance.

 

In a league where players decide where they want to go in advance, Morey has been a damn good GM. A player has to want to come here for us to get them and even then, it depends on the other team wanting to play ball too.

 

I get what you're saying...but would like to see how the season/playoffs turn out before we grade a GM on their transactions for this season. Also, Kawhi could walk and they get nothing. Same with Gasol, if I am not mistaken.
