    Again, I don't know what you're asking or what you're addressing. You've actually countered yourself in your own post. But going back to your original point, that doesn't equate to "knowing basketball". That was your original point, which you have yet to prove.

    "he's good at evaluating value for players."

    Right--because once again that's "knowing basketball." Do you know what that phrase even means? That in no way equates to your knowledge of the game. And I would argue that he isn't good at evaluating value for players. Over the years he has dumped 1st round picks for 2nd rounders, etc. He traded beverly, montrez, etc for a noose of a contract in a 34 year old Paul. He caught a big break in Harden, but years through the lottery may have turned something around as well. His main asset is ability to stay under the cap, dump salary, and make sure the team is competitive enough to sell tickets. If I was a team owner and I was operating the team as a business, which I likely would (the whole "owners need to just care about winning is naive") I would 100% hire Morey. From a fan's perspective he is pretty mediocre however.

    That is my objective assessment of the guy. If I had the ability to fire him right now, I wouldn't . We wouldn't be able to find somebody better, but at the same time I acknowledge that he's not some messiah like you guys make him out to be

    Looks like the real @Dream Shook has arrived who says it as it is. All this while we have had the other timid @DreamShook who sugar coats things and believes organization can do no wrong.

    Im not. I just look at a situation and try to evaluate it. Morey swung for the fences, he missed, it happens. Lol like what change do you want even btw? Like what? More mid range? Do you even know what you are upset about? Like, you have to understand that things happen that are out of people's control.

    I agreed with you somewhat. Obviously a coach is gonna know more about X's and Os. Lol and even so Id still trust Daryl over you to make an on court decision. Ive never seen you or a lot of people on here break down film ever or talk about plays? Do you know how to evaluate players, know what their worth is? Can you do that? No. I dont think you can.

    Player evaluation doesnt not equal knowledge of the game now? LOL. And Im sure the first round/ second round pick things have context you are not providing. The Chris Paul trade wasnt bad. We had two years as contenders. It was risk and we took it. Do you understand that we had the franchise records in wins and were up 3-2 on the GOAT team? Like we had to do that deal and sign that contract. Good lord man. Hes always been aggressive and sometime the risks dont pan out. It sounds to me like you are the one whos okay with mediocrity. Weve been a top 5 team in the NBA for the past 5 years now. Morey has done everything he could to give us the best team possible. Lol and btw, we were never allowed to tank cause the owner wouldnt let him.

    My objective assessment of your objective assessment is that you dont know enough and need to think about context a little more. Im not saying hes a messiah, i know hes not perfect. What I will say is that hes done a lot more good for this franchise than bad and at worst, hes an above average GM.

    That’s weird as ****, DreamShook. I remember hearing about it before and thought it was weird then. Ever talk to @Clutch about it? Seems like the confusion ought to get straightened out. With all due respect to the OP.

    Man, when the Rockets turn out to be good next season, like every season, it will be so satisfying to bust it in this b****-ass sect of the clutchfans community. I hope your orgasms to the rockets misfortune is long and cosmic, homie. Your mouth better be just as wide in April.
