    Morey was offered Isiah Thomas and Plumlee for his choice of DMo or TJones and a second round pick and he turned it down. Phoenix begged him to do the trade and he refused holding stubbornly out for Dragic. I posted post after post on this site at that time screaming for Morey to grab the much cheaper Thomas at a bargain bin price, but he held out as always only to be rejected by the superstar Dragic. Morey should have sleepless nights knowing that the Suns begged him to take Thomas off their hands at a bargain bin price.

    Thanks Morey for selecting Mook Morris ahead of Kawhi Leonard!!!

    Morey could have drafted Kawhi Leonard with the 14th pick and he turned it down. Rockets begged him to do that in the draft and he refused holding stubbornly out for Morris. I posted post after post on this site at that time screaming for Morey to grab the much better Leonard at a bargain 14th pick, but he held out as always only to eventually dump his so called superstar potential Morris. Morey should have sleepless nights knowing that the Spurs bagged him and took Leonard off his hands at a bargain 14th pick.

    IT would've been a bad move for the Rockets. Unless they traded him to replace Harden and then rebuilt the team to get around IT's defense.

    I wonder if Thomas will be nearly as good on this team.

    Thanks Morey for trading Lowry and Kevin Martin for James Harden.

    I'm I doing this right?

    Lul, the Suns were offering Thomas to everyone and nobody bited...credit to Ainge for taking a flyer on this dude.

    On a side note, would've been great to see Harden and Thomas on defense, the true matadors.

    Codman or someone else report that IT was on the table, but we were after Dragic.
    Dragic was a great plan but finally Miami paid the price first (2 first rounds)
    I never read anybody crying about no trading for Thomas at that time. Now is easy

    Funny, Morey loves short PFs. ;)

    Anyway, I don't blame him. At that time, DMo and TJones both looked to have more potential than Thomas.

    The Leonard miss, though... that's pretty devastating.

    Isiah Thomas is the HOF PG for the back-to-back champion, Bad Boys.

    Isaiah Thomas is that little guy that carries the ball on every other possession for the Celtics.

    Neither of them are Ricky Rubio.

    Please carry on with the premium quality threads.

    It's not that Morey can't put stars around Harden it's because he refuses to.

    He also passed on Kawhi Leonard.

    The funny thing about the Dmo fiasco is that he's come and said he wants to play for the Warriors for the min. Probably just to spite Morey and get a ring before him.
