    It's too bad. Cause Adelman is an absolutely fantastic coach. But if you have to choose between him and Morey you go with our genius GM every time.
    Ill bet Adelman wishes he was coaching this team right now.

    Morey (Billy Beane): And I want Dmo at the 4.

    McHale: Dmo? Not Pat or Morris? Look, you're out of your depth. I don't want to go 10 rounds with you. The lineup card is mine. And frankly, I'm trying to do things that I can justify when I'm doing interviews for my next job.

    Morey: Dmo. Not Patrick.

    (later)

    Morey: You can't play Patrick at the 4.

    McHale: Well I am.

    Morey: Nope. I traded him. I also traded Morris.

    McHale: shakes head sadly You're killing this team.

    Morey: Kevin, I can do this all day long.

    This. Not to mention your backup 1/2, he's going to have to make a lot of adjustments, I'm sure he's a bit stressed.

    My homage.

    I tried to remember the dialogue as best I could. Every time I see that movie I think of Morey. Don't get close to these guys, you'll have to trade them sooner or later.

    Probably too much in love with himself. He's a great player but being too self absorbed can destroy chemistry. That's the only danger with James. See Kobe Bryant.

    nah, i think it's what lin said, being new in the league and not used to trades. Harden's been around a bit longer.

    McHale doesn't sound angry, he always has that casual, "meh" tone of voice. He'll handle it fine.

    Is this the norm in the N.B.A. that a gm will do trades without the input of the coach? Or could McHale have already told the gm what he would be interested in trading for? I find it hard to believe that McHale was out of the loop up until an hour before gametime.
