Daryl Morey on the Rockets 2009 Lottery "Bust" Pickups

I agree. If you really look at Bynum you'll see that it's just not true that he found his way through playing time. His first season he averaged less than 8 minutes a game (even Brian Cook averaged 5 times more minutes than him). His second season he moves up to about 20 after working with Kareem over the summer. At that point he's already a decent big man. 7 points, 6 boards and a block and half in twenty minutes shooting 55% from the field. If Thabeet could even sniff those numbers he'd be starting for us.

 

I never said they hate him, it just seems like they don't trust him, or believe in him, and again, purely speculative on my part.

The Sam Dalemberts of the league don't have a choice, and the Kings pulled their offer from the table which forced him to his last offer, ours.

But we are not getting the Bosh level people, or even the Chandler level people to actually look our way, we did allegedly get Nene to look, but that has yet to be proven that it was anything more than a leverage play by Nene to get Denver to offer more - which they did.

Ariza I will give you - and Adelman was a huge factor in both him and Miller signing here, but they were both jettisoned after one year, same with Andersen, one has to wonder if a player will consider Houston if all bets are equal today. And again, Marc Gasol used us as leverage, he never signed anything.

I guess if the goal is to get your name in the paper as leverage Morey has done great....lol

You believe it is ok to say that, I believe he should be saying that to them, and keep it in house.

I am NOT one that is saying he sucks, I like Morey, I just believe he is not a good people manager, and I don't particularly care for the way he talks to the press about his team.

But whatever floats your boat - we just disagree.

Go look up Thabeet's numbers when he got consistent minutes for the Grizz his rookie year........

Hard to put up numbers in a business suit.
