    I love Scola. I have a lot of respect for Morey. He made the same mistake with Battier. This is the one criticism (in terms of actual gm work) that i have of Morey.

    He was traded at the perfect time. You might be able to say the same about Kevin Martin given the rule changes. Blame Stern, dont blame Morey. It seems to me like he say the writing on the wall when everyone was scratching their heads why he would give up the Rockets "best two players" for Gasol.

    Scola can score 20 but can give up 30. Love his hustle but he is old and never was a defensive player.

    I keep hearing that word try a lot. It makes me hate people who say that word for too long and never actually DO.

    ...Morey did trade him. If it wasn't for Stern and "basketball reasons" Scola wouldnt be a Rockets uniform

    I wont give him credit until he does something that means anything for this organization. EVER now. Until he actually does. I dont care if he tried anymore or someone gave him bad luck or stepped on his toes. He got sick, called late, Stern blocked him. Until he does something he is a loser at GM.

    Obvious comment to try and make into a troll is obvious. A troll tries to hurt the team. This team is being hurt by its Gms failure. Not mine trying to bring the fanbase down. Pointing out its weakness is not trolling. Sorry your effort to belittle my comments failed.
