    So you base it off nothing but speculation? It could be true but I think the fact they both got double their offers elsewhere was a part of it. Also they know GSW got stronger, so staying the same would have gotten them nowhere also.

    ariza didn't "know" GS got stronger. he signed with phx pretty much immediately once FA opened. and the cousins news was after that.

    0 reason to even let LMM walk if the alternatives were what hou has now. especially for the minuscule $

    Tillman has final say on all things so the buck stops with him.

    And the ones that they picked are tanking the team.

    Luc is getting paid about 3x as much as he did with us.

    luc is getting paid $4.3 mil from the clips. You really expect moute to sign for the min again at a diff of ~3 mil. that's absolutely terrible.

    Luc isn't even getting paid mle $. 0 reason for him to leave if it was just based on $. Especially when they're giving a scrub like mcw $ to play who has no business being on this team

    I blame Morey's longstanding strategy of "fruit basket turnover." He thinks role players are interchangeable, they are not. Losing Ariza was a biggie. Moute on the other hand is already hurt again.

    Currently we owe the 5th most out of any team in the league. I am sure you are aware.

    Dantoni. It’s clear now that Bzdelik was the real coach on this team. The team has completely fallen apart without him.

    And now we’re seeing what a true dantoni ran team looks like.

    I wonder how soon Morey and MDA knew of B-lik's departure. If they knew it early on, then they should be blamed for not preparing for the blow. If it caught them off guard like it did us, then it's Jeff's fault for bolting suddenly.
