    You are partly wrong sir. Morey did hims a HUGE favor by letting him go to New York.

    However, Morey did admit and own to the fact that he did regret the cut of Jeremy Lin.

    Face it, his impact has created joy and anguish for everyone. As a rocket fan, it *****in sucks!

    LOL, if you mean what he posted on Twitter. Then I'd say Morey regrets answering any questions on Lin and on doing a unmoderated Q&A.

    He was just appeasing some Lin fans but literally moments after that was put up it was retweeted by TrueHoop with all the other media jumping in and spinning it way too much.

    Everybody is saying Morey made a mistake. At least he could see something in him and brought him here when we were already loaded with PG's. Every other team had two chances to pick him up and missed on it except NY.

    That was a knock on the Franchise and his 60 year old face.

    The only thing it proves is that no lottery team picked him, when the Rockets submitted a claim. When multiple teams make a waiver claim, the worst team wins. The Celtics made a waiver claim, but they were beat by the Rockets losing record.

    Morey and McHale know they screwed up... and at the end of the day it was about money like always but Morey has to keep up the lie that it is more about making this team better versus maximizing Les Alexander's wealth. Morey might not be as great as some think he is to do both (money and championship.)

    The reason this thread was started was because he was talking about *yao* if he was talking about somebody else i would understand being pissed off about it. Its so stupid how people get on little band wagon gangs one here with the "Stop the J lin threads!!" and shi*t really chill out this is a fans forum, people take this stuff way to far. Its cool to hear him talk about yao and is thread worthy.

    hmm, he said we are becoming a more dangerous basketball team as we play team ball. Somewhere, Melo cant be all that happy right now. Fear the big beard Baron too. The Knics situation will be a drama, bank on it.

    It's not a Jeremy Lin thread. It's a Yao thread.
