    It's part of a trilogy that ends with a book titled:
    SHUT UP
    SHUT UP
    SHUT UP
    or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Shut Up
    with a Foreward by T-Mac titled: When I said "Believe me something Great will happen in the city of Houston", I didn't mean it would happen during my career.

    winning my arse. He is clearly a distraction/liability of this team now. If we don't have a great season start and maybe shoe deals go south, he will be forced out.

    Yeah that's why I put "lite". Not quite apples to apples comparison but they both forced their respective leagues into a hot situation.

    Anyway, Morey is one of the best proven GM's at his job. I don't anticipate he'll go anyway but who knows how long the HK situation last and how much hotter it gets. (ie martial law + chinese tanks rolling in etc) and how much the NBA bends over for that money. There could be a small chance Morey gets fired and then resurfaces for the Hornets or some non major market team.

    Well he certainly brought out all the Chinese shills on clutchfans that haven't watched a Rockets game since Yao Ming retired.

    Clutchfans sleeper cells. Like a bad case of C. difficile sometimes you need a drug holiday to let the last stragglers crawl out of their spores, until you lay it back on 'em with the hardcore antibiotics. And sometimes antibiotics won't work and you just need to take some donor poo and fling it at them.

    Morey may have cost the nba 4 billion according to the video below.

    I can’t think of any public figure in recent memory who would be willing to take such a staggering financial stand for any cause. That was insanely brave. If this his way of winning I guess he accomplished what he set out to do.



    HK has everyone’s attention now.

    No, he needs to start playing checkers..... He over thought this, now he has put himself on the clock, the team hits a road bump, lose too many games or doesn't win the chip, well Tilman will have all the justification to fire his ass.

    Yeah there’s a moral equivalency between “people deserve self governance” and “don’t bring black people to my team’s games”.

    The 76ers would hire him the very second they could.

    Unfortunately, I fear we will have to say good bye to Morey at some point this season. They won't fire him now. They'll wait until our historically short attention spans are fixated on something else.

    He would have had no idea about the blowback, and probably farted it out before going to sleep. This was in no way intentional..

    Isn't Golden State the #1 team in China before this... a boycott by China on the entire NBA helps Morey finally beat the Warriors. It is brilliant.

    4 billion is the total value estimated of "NBA China" as a business entity. NBA China ain't going nowhere. China will not allow the dissolution of a relationship that lucrative for its own citizens. Whatever penalty the NBA takes from individualized loss of endorsements to the Rockets will not ripple throughout the rest of the NBA. The TV, merchandise, and streaming deals for the entire NBA, of which the Rockets are 1/30th equal shareholders, will not be hit one iota.

    morey is playing 4d chess

    after silver messed up the nene contract the seed of revenge was planted

    morey pisses of china

    silver and the nba gets involved

    now china is more pissed off at silver and the nba

    china threatens to either ban the NBA in china or sell the NBA to them

    china buys the NBA

    morey says that he only tweeted that in the first place to wake up china and expose the corruption of silver & co

    and morey is made chairman of NBA USA

    I wouldn't speak too soon. China may be on the verge of cutting off the NBA completely. I don't think this is a bluff.
