    It was not just Moreys decision to hire McHale like some people say Les was at the final interview
    http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2011/05/kevin-mchale-is-rockets-new-head-coach/
    After a month-long search and long sessions debating the merits of three finalists, the Rockets offered McHale their head coaching position on Friday. McHale was chosen over Boston assistant Lawrence Frank and Dallas assistant Dwane Casey after meeting with Rockets owner Leslie Alexander on Wednesday to complete the interview process. McHale has agreed in principle to a three-year deal plus a team option..

    Some people keep blaming just Morey for the hiring. Some where there is an article or radio cast of Less saying McHale just impressed him so much.

    Team is in disarray, hes gotta go. Dragic is gone, hes overpaying a scrub backup Center, couldn't get the Dwight Howard home run type deal.

    Morey's 2nd round draft record:

    - Brad Newley
    - Maarty Leunen
    - Carl Landry
    - Chase Budinger
    - Chandler Parsons

    - Furkan Aldemir

    Don't laugh at Morey for his 2nd rounders. You will regret it.

    Daryl Morey should be fired yesterday.

    Let him go analyze statistics somewhere else. We need a leader with long-term vision.

    All we'd need then is a few more posters with your attitude. We'd be golden.

    We are worse then an expansion team. I would fire all players, coaches and GM and just start over. Wish we could fire Les's dumb ass too.

    He does a great job whipping up secondary and tertiary players. Still has yet to net us an All Star.

    This is a star driven league, and Morey is currently 0-19 in attempts to land one.

    Morey's been his own worst enemy in negotiations, refusing to budge off his assigned value of players, stalling out trades and upsetting players.

    And his asset/moneyball driven "BPA regardless of position" strategy has left the team unbalanced and severely stunted.

    We keep spinning wheels today for a future blockbuster that he keeps whiffing on.

    I'm getting really sick and tired of this.

    If you're only track record as GM is aquiring cheap 2nd rounders you have failed miserably.

    Side Note: The only person on there worth anything was Landry. Furkan Aldemir:confused:??

    Who???

    Name 5 2nd round picks who really make a team that much better, are we honestly going to build around 2nd round picks?

    Seriously, great - he can find role players.....that is not all that hard.

    As the great Roy Hobbs would say...

    "Pick me out a winner Bobby"

    We can't get ONE allstar player when every other team seems to be able to? I the " we will not overpay argument"...yet we will give Asik a big contract? We do not need cap room, because NOBODY will sign here...
