What EVIDENCE do we have that Morey is doing a great/good job?

That is one direction the franchise could take and I know you have been a proponent of tanking for a long time now. However, if Scola and Martin are still on the roster for a good portion of the 66 games, I see us winning just enough games to draft at 14th again. If we are tanking, trade those two NOW, otherwise, sign Dalembert and see if we can make a push for the playoffs (8th seed).

 

You must of not read my post, I said we could probably get 1 or two mid to late first round picks for scola, martin and Lee. We could then package those picks to move up.

You say Les wasn't willing to rebuild? It's moreys job to convince the owner on what is best to do for the team.

 

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Life doesn't work the way you think it does.

Morey is a GM. A freaking general manager on a Basketball team. Les doesn't want to tank, he's telling Morey to rebuild whiles winning. Les can fire Morey and hire another GM if he doesn't follow those standards, is that so hard to understand?

 

One other option Les gets tired of the team and resells.

 

As the Gm Morey has an obligation to do whats best for the Rockets. If he is not willing to do that he is not doing his job

 

In the last draft we had two mid first round picks. Morey tried hard to move up, just like he does every year. Once again he had no success. It isn't easy to move up in the draft. Scola or Martin would be going to a contending team for a pick most likely, in which case, the pick would be far worse than the ones we had last year. So what makes you think we would have better success with worse picks? In any case, you are basing everything off of your own assumptions, which are completely off base.

 

That isn't even remotely true....

He moved up this year to get Donatas didn't he? It is also well known that he had a trade in place to move up for Patterson. Thankfully he made a smart wager and hoped he would drop to us which he did. How many times have you heard of a team trading for a top pick armed with mid first rounders?

In any case, you assumed Daryl could package our players for picks to move up a loaded draft.... Then you claim that Daryl can't get it done. If that is the case, then how would you expect him to trade up to begin with? Or are you just making wild assumptions again?

 

I remember the rockets packaging multiple picks to move up for eddie griffin. Yes it was a bad pick but they were able to move up.

 

If Morey "can't get it done", then what is the use of trading for the picks to begin with? There is a HUGE flaw in your logic.

 

HE IS DOING WHATS BEST FOR THE ROCKETS.

Holy crap are you really this stupid or are you trolling.

THESE ARE LES' STANDARDS. Rebuild whiles winning. That is what Morey is doing.

I don't think you've ever had a job before. If your boss tells you to finish a report, you do it. If you can't do it, he'll HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO.

What do you expect Morey to do? "I believe this is not the best move for the Rockets. If we don't blow up our team and rebuild, which I think is our best option, I will resign".

Get a clue. This isn't a game, you talk like you've never had any experiences with people or a job for that matter.

 

That took 3 mid first round picks for the #7 pick.... one of wich was the #13 pick. We had two picks in last years draft which were worse picks to begin with....

 

Didn't Morey almost resign because the trade was rejected? Would you quit your job or even think about it if something like that didn't go your way?

Being a NBA gm is nothing like a regular 9-5 job. It makes no sense to compare the two

 

I am starting to think he is trolling.... No one can be this dumb..... I'm out. Not wasting my time with a troll anymore.

 

That was a false report. OMG.... where have you been? Even Morey said that was a stupid rumor.

 

Really how do you figure. Morey is not a great gm but even I believe he would be capable of selecting Andre Drummond, Anthony Davis, Jeremy Lamb, Jarred Sullinger, Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones or one of the other big time prospects if he had a top pick

 

What's dumb is defending a GM who has the rockets stuck in no mans land

 

Oh for **** sakes you're hopeless.

Boss wants a burger, if employee says he'll make salad instead. Boss will fire the employee and hire someone to make a burger.

I'm done, you're definitely trolling. No way anyone is this stupid.

 

You said Morey should trade Scola, Martin for mid first round picks (if your lucky. Contenders would want those players at their respective salaries which means late picks) and then package them for a top pick. Then you said that Morey can't get it done trading up for a top pick. If that were the case, what would make this year any different?

 

Liking or disliking the trade seems a bit irrelevant to me. If it went through, you'd be building a team around a mid-box postup player who most considered soft until he teamed up with Kobe and Metta World.

And the 2nd best player on that team would have been Kyle Lowery. Who IIRC correctly was a backup PG for the MEM Lottery teams of which Gasol was a member.

And that's totally ignoring whatever distance there is between Adelman and McHale.

The proof of anything regarding the almost trade for Gasol would have been a full blown regular season. Color me sceptical that Gasol, Lowery, PPat, CBud, CLee and Morris were anything more than a 9th or 10th seed at best.

And I'm still waiting for the assets to turn into something beyond wishful thinking by the "Morey is god" contingents.
