I've been one of the biggest supporters of Daryl but now even I can't make any excuses for him. So disappointed that he gave up on Canaan. I thought it was very obvious that Canaan was our best point guard. Dude was on fire when Bev got hurt and suddenly got benched for no reason when Terry was really sucking out there. Now what if Bev gets hurt in the playoffs? Are we really going to rely on Prigioni and Terry to guard the other great scoring point guards in the Western Conference? I just couldn't believe he replaced Canaan with a 38-year-old point guard who can't even stay in front of my grandma. Let's face it, Morey has made a ton of mistakes over the last couple of years. And he needs to go. Letting good players like Dragic and Parsons go, re-signing McHale, drafting Marcus Morris over Kawhi Leonard, trading Lin away for nothing..All these mistakes has set us back in so many aspects. All he does was pretty much treading water. He is the reason why we're stuck in the first round year after year. DARYL MOREY NEEDS TO GO
You wanted to pay Parsons 15 million a year? You didn't wanna trade Lin away, and completely forgo the chance of attaining Chris Bosh? You didn't like the James Harden trade where we sent OKC nothing but crap? You didn't like the fact that we never had to tank after the Yao/T Mac Era? You didn't like the Dwight Howard signing? You didn't like the selection of D Mo with the 20th pick in the draft?
i hate hate hate the canaan trade but morey's done a good enough job to me. remember he got harden for next to nothing.
The funniest part of that post was that he talked about wanting Canaan to guard people. As if defense is what we need him for. Come on man, smarten up
Also I didn't think there was anyone left that wanted to keep parsons for 25 million and lock that team in. No smith or brewer right now. Weaker defense.
LOL people are upset about moving a D league quality PG to a team that wants him to help them lose as many games as possible? Heh, you guys are funny.
The lack of basketball knowledge, and lack of understanding of just HOW hard it is to do what Morey has done from Rockets fans is astounding. I'm seriously embarrassed that I have to be associated with people like the OP just because we root for the same team.
Who told you Morey gave up on Canaan? He was obviously so deep in McHale's doghouse he wasn't ever getting out. Who know why (I don't) but it was pretty obvious. Morey gave him a chance to play by trading him. Before that he gave him a chance by drafting him. Morey's not always right (no one is) but this is a silly complaint.
If only we had a prerequisite for for having the ability to start threads.... Thanks for adding more clutter to the GARM, fella! Your opinion ABSOLUTELY needed its own thread.
We are over the cap anyway. Tell me where has "flexibility" gotten us? Should have kept Dragic and never signed Lin. He just got lucky that Harden was available because OKC had a cheap owner. Should have tank. Tanking is by far the easiest way to rebuild. Dwight came here to play with Harden, not Morey. Drafting Morris when Leonard was available was inexcusable.
So every GM is perfect? All GMs make mistakes during roster moves. Don't discredit the great things he has done.
