    Lin is supposedly this huge revenue stream but we had to give up a first round pick to ship him out.

    Let's see what this player who can bring any NBA owner billions of dollars in China deals is worth in free agency.

    Every time DD posts I want to respond with the image of Obi Wan from Star Wars Episode 3 when he fights Anikan. DD, you were supposed to be the chosen poster, you were supposed to bring balance to the forums, not leave them in di$array.

    Hah - you guys can love him all you like - I believe him to be cheap, you don't think so - so we disagree.

    I am fine with that.

    And then tell me why does Les Alexander look like the 2nd coming of the Evil Emperor in Star Wars?

    And his ugly laugh

    Hiring and extending McHale is another of those moves (questionable ones)

    JVG and Adelman were not eagerly extended.....

    He is obviously not that well received, but has a narcissistic tendency to be popular with the media folk

    So he hires someone like McHale who has been charismatic guy but not proven as a coach.

    Obviously after years of near mediocrity even McHale can achieve excellent results with a good team

    so Alexander is leaning back and has no other motivation.

    He continues his ways of boasting (He is actually the real Tmac) and little action to really be in the Finals year after year

    Someone said misguided but I guess he is just not really into Basketball after all those years

    You have to live and breathe Basketball and not just keep it a regular hobby
    and interfere only when there are money making opportunities

    It would make him even more money if they actually won championships this or last decade.

    So spend spend spend old man.

    Moving on :rolleyes:

    You go over tax threshold once you have a formidable team in place and are willing to trade for a player or keep a player that takes you to "championship" level!

    It's just that you have literally zero evidence of it.

    It's kind of your thing - isn't it? To constantly post unfounded BS?


    Do you even have a job? how do you function in the real world?

    DD controls 5% of the world's economy. He knows 90% of the secrets that goes on in the Rockets organization.

    He's SHIELD and HYDRA.

    I don't even know why the hell the Suns let Dragic go like that by bringing in those other guards. Just a season ago Dragic was a runner up MVP then they insult him by bringingin Thomas and Bledsoe...

    There is tons of evidence, YEARS of it, you guys just don't want to follow along with it.

    Every year he says this, every year Morey talks about him spending money and willing to go the extra bit, and every year they don't do it.

    Even this year, we were right there right, did the team go all in, DID IT?

    I disagree with your opinion.

    The team had bad luck and not enough chemistry in incorporating new players. He went out and got Howard and Harden plus found a better than Parsons replacement. There's not more you can ask.

    Howard's health is declining. He is not the best Center night in night out any longer.

    He was declining with the Lakers, we went all in because desperation for talent.

    He will continue to agree to trades for aging stars rather than going all in for a Top 5 pick.

    Harden is an anomaly and a very good move by Morey not Alexander.

    Ah, so not being in the luxury tax (by frivolous spending) and not "going all-in" makes him cheap. Got it...

    How did we not go all-in again? Rondo? Dragic? Those seem like great situations we totally want to be in... Not!

    So how did he not go all in?? After Melo (your favorite superstar) and Bosh rejected us did you want him to sign Troy Daniels to a max deal?? Man, sometimes your posts are sensible but then other times I think you like to troll just to drive convo... I mean I'd love to hear your other opinions. Like did you want him to match Parsons so we'd have two players doing the same thing? The only way you match Parsons is if you got that big FA signing...

    I only trust the 99ers that make good posts, some I am surprised haven't secretly went on to worship the Spurs or whatever team is winning. Haha, that's not directed at you/DD, but I am just saying some of you get a bit silly.
