    If there isn't another trade coming today, I'm done with Morey. Don't care what he's done in the past. Yes, he's excellent at getting good, tradable assets but so far, he's done little to elevate this team to a true championship caliber team. He has refused to get a coach that runs an actual offensive system, and he has no business having as much power as he has.

    I hope there's more.

    I don't like Morey not because he's not doing a good job, but because he has got rid of all of my favorite players.

    Now if his next move is to trade Capela, I'm gonna kill him!

    Done withmorey. Would have rather let Dmo play 30 min from here on out to see what he is and determine how to handle rfa status.

    with the Harris trade they didn't have anymore enough money to offer DMO a big contract. (nor Rhyno).

    You forgot they also got rid of Varejao and Cunningham.

    The main issue I have with this pick and its supposed "value" is that Morey has shown no track record of drafting well in the teens:

    Ppat
    Marcus Morris
    Royce White
    Terrence Jones
    Sam Dekker

    What does that have to do with being upset for not getting fair value back for your best low post threat?

    I'm really beginning to believe Morey makes deals just for the sake of making deals. This one doesn't make them better, I guess he didn't want to pay DMo, so get something back for him while he could.

    It's not good reason to dump Thornton and Dmo like garbage.

    If we're tanking, what do we need a proficient scoring that's on an expiring deal for?

    Did he play for the Timberwolves or was he traded to the rockets before he ever played in NBA?
