Morey should be fired according to Kobe

They could've picked up a late pick for cash that year, and decided he wasn't even worth the last pick of the entire draft. Yeah, they really thought he was going to be awesome.

 

Finally someone setting it straight. People acting like Morey was the one that spotted Lin. He wasn't.

He failed his job when letting him go, however you can't completely fault him given the PG/contract situation.

 

That wasn't what Apollo was referring too.

He was asking why the Lakers didn't give him a look after the Rockets waived Lin not before. It didn't make sense to bring up the "before" to his question.

I have mentioned before that Lin could have been picked up during the draft, but it was for questions on picking him up BEFORE the Rocket's waiver.

 

Thanks man!

 

You're right then, I didn't know about this about the waiver actually

 

Kobe is such a douche!

Despite his millions, he didnt have sense enough to get a professional rather than boffing some desk clerk at the Howard Johnsons - or wherever the heck it was... I guess that makes him stupider than Charlie Sheen! lol

 

It is simple, every team had multiple options to get him in the draft and no one did. After he was a free agent every team had an opportunity to offer him big bucks to ensure he signed, none did. When he was a Warrior, prior to being released every team had a chance to trade for him, no one did and he was released. Prior to releasing him every team had a chance to trade for him, no one did.

The Knicks saw so much in him that they were 24 hours away from waiving him. The Knicks caught lightening in a bottle. No team though he would ever get meaningful minutes, if they did, a trade would have been made.

Let's see how he is the rest of the season. A great story.

 

Hm.. Dragic or Lin?

I'd have to go with Dragic, having worked behind Steve Nash, at one point, will pay off

 

So just as expected, you have no method to your madness and are just trolling.

Nothing to see here, folks, move on.

 

What would he do with Kupchak after:
1. He passed up on Lin too
2. Gave away Odom for nothing

 

Dragic will be just as gone as Lin after the deadline.

 

See what happens when you talk bad about Morey?

 

Too bad Dragic is not pass-first like Nash. Dragic has severe tunnel vision.

 

No... someone with basketball knowledge and any level of common sense would know this.... your name explains it all ... what????????

 

Morey messed up big... Too worried about pau and other talents to look at what was on his own plate.

 

Let's not forget that Kobe was also upset when the Lakers didn't trade Andrew Bynum for an aging Jason Kidd. Cutting Lin was the right move. He'll be exposed as a middling talent soon enough, it's already started as a matter of fact.

 

The same Kobe who allegedly raped a woman in Colorado?

 

With power comes...well, power.

 

I guess he didn't know Lin was on the lakers also

 

Lakers offered Lin a spot in training camp but he turned it down to go to the Warriors.
