First even though morey hit it big with the james harden trade ,recently hes really blown it when it comes to these overly inflated contracts, first it was rynos 4/80mill ,then we trade him plus our 2nd rounder for knight we then package that with a 1st for shump who did absolutely nothing,we overly paid a center whos a system player playing with two point guards who are great at passing ,all he do is lobs and put backs,he got no low post moves ,outside shot ,cant cover the perimeter nor shoot free throws and unplayable vs golden state,now lets talk about giving a aging star a super max ,thats just dumb , and cant play a full season to save his life .Lets talk about morey ball ,we go 0-20 something at the 3 ,but we are so smart, wat do we do ,we keep shooting even tho they ice cold, again this is so dumb man, 3 point shot or bust, rockets need to start incorporating more ball movement and high efficient 2 pointers ,also more scripted plays instead of just harden walking down the court while the whole warriors defense hones in on him .Tmac was so right about d antoni not holding harden accountable when he plays offball and on defense ,which we all know many times he just a lazy-as.Also for last harden need to change his diva attitude yes hes the most important peiece to our team ,but u cant be worried about stats and mvp u should instead be focused to winning titles, and dont give a attitude and act disinterested when playing offball or defense otherwise we will never win a title with you.Morey tillman and dantoni ,time to prove yourselfs.
I tell ya one thing for sure, the era of overpaid contracts is over with Tilman. Morey out here handing them out like candy.
Raptors did good job. Attract 2 all stars Kawaii and Gasol to join and make good depth for bench. Houston just sign a Shampert. wtf. The easiest thing is to sign Ariza back and ask Tilman to use money to buy one all star into the team better than break the team into piece. give the call timeout right to defence coach Ask van Gundy as defensive coach
Ballmer would have been the perfect partner for Morey though, 2 nerdy homers are stronger than 1. At least it would have been a more fun ride.
What? Raptors didn't attrack Kawhai or Gasol. They TRADED for them. We also didn't sign Shump, we traded for him. We don't have the money to sign Ariza, nor should we. Uh... no
This is a Collective Bad Issues that led to a Downfall Tillman Fertitta was cheap and Daryl Morey wanted to bargain bin dump sign bad players Offseason Free Agency - James Ennis Carmelo Anthony - very old, can't shoot, can't defend Michael Carter Wiliams Trade Ryan Anderson with 1st Rd Pick, Deanthony Melton for Brandon Knight, Marquesses Chriss What a Failure of a offseason, the worst part was trading the 1st Round Pick and Deanthony Melton No Draft Picks Signed House, played in Summer League, Cut Danuel House during Preseason, signed him again, played well either the Rockets, 2 way rules, contract dispute, sent him down, called him up, played well in regular season, struggled in playoffs, gets benched.
NBA media rarely agree on anything. What they do agree on is Morey is one of the best in the league .
Spend some more time on CF. People call out Morey all the time. Every time someone he passed over or traded has a good game I swear I see a "Murry what are you doing?" thread.
one move (or non-move) that morey definitely should have gone for was kevon looney. for all his talk about obsession with beating the warriors, the failure to recognize the impact kevon looney has on their team and the ability to kill 2 birds with one stone (hurt the warriors and help the rockets) is mind boggling. looney apparently received ZERO offers in free agency before re-upping with warriors this year, so was completely available for the taking and likely at little cost. at minimum, morey could've driven the price up to make keeping looney more costly to the warriors; at best, we would've gotten a solid player who basically outplayed capela the series and actually has an offensive skillset that isn't predicated solely on being spoonfed dunks. morey seems to swing and miss on stars but generally gets credit for finding solid role players (ariza, tucker, rivers); but this was one low-profile move that should have been obvious to him and yet didn't seem to even cross his mind. and looney is very clearly a real difference maker on the warriors, even last year.
A.Morey criticism at this point is fair B. Golden st. Is 15-0 vs the West the last 5 years. C. TMac is critical of Harden when he didn't move without the ball, didn't play defense, didn't get out of the 1st round and announced a season ending surgery without the Rockets knowledge. TMac should really STFU.
