    Given the context of a loss that probably pissed off the entire organization top down, it takes some balls for Morey to say that to Les. You may say it was half joking, but I'm curious what the expression on his face was.

    I'm not surprised Morey was a Dragic Only Fan. Morey seems to have a thing for lefties and he was great at getting to the foul line.

    When we acquired Lin, it was pretty easy to connect the dots. Damn you Les!!!

    Was he underutilized then? I recall him only averaging 11 points or so with 6, 7 assists

    Dragic should've been kept over Lin but Lin is not single-handedly responsible for being down 3-1. That's just idiotic. Harden's terrible shooting, LMA and Lillard having their way, boneheaded plays all around and reffing all contributed to the losses.

    Even though Lowery is better than any other PG on this Rockets team - Morey never regretted that move.

    Too much back story going on with that dynamic.

    Are you referring to the stretch of losses that dropped the Rockets entirely out of the playoffs? If that's the case then, just by looking at the stats, the dude was averaging around 20 points and 8 assists per game.

    Before he took over the starting duties, yea he was mediocre but once he got a hold of that starting position Dragic never looked back.

    So by your estimation, a Lowry/Rockets reunion is impossible? If so, then we're going to continue to have issues at point guard unless Danny Ainge decides to do us a solid and trade Rondo to Houston.

    Sure. he had his moments. I can only recall from memories.

    I was only saying he was not scoring 30 points most games and averaging 21 like he is in Phoenix.

    He had a better second half of the season but it was mostly a really bad team. Gortat being a cancer didn't help matters. Dude had direct beef with Dragic & Scola. The Suns fans liked what they saw in Dragic that year.

    Lowry trade resulted in a pick for Morey to get Harden, what is the point for Morey to be regretted? Your sources are just getting less valuable in each of this kind argument.

    Never said there could be no reunion. I am talking about what happened in the past.

    Lowery is going to get $$ too.

    Les knew he would get more $$$ with Lin instead of Dragic.

    We could've won this series already.

    The pick they got for him ended up being the #1 asset in the Harden trade. Of course he didn't regret it unless he regrets acquiring Harden which is stupid.
