    So, you want us to join the ranks of the Lakers and Knicks? Cool.

    Yep...Brewer is next.....

    Time to ship off Bev too. Always injured, not very effective..

    Time to do all the things McHale wouldn't do.

    If Les fires Morey he's a damn fool. Morey is not the problem.

    Everyone, from Morey down to the players, should feel a little uncomfortable right now. Mr. A has expectations, agreed to be reasonable or not, that are title included. He's not satisfied with what he is paying a team payroll for.

    Everyone that is part of the basketball operations has a part in where we are right now at 4-7 and how most of those 7 games have looked in losing them.

    Time to buck up and change the course of the season. And if telling everyone that they are on notice, then they need to feel the pressure to make adjustments.

    I'm sure Mr. A spoke to certain players in hopes of getting them going.

    Morey has landed us two superstars and great role players around them. If I'm Les, I'm pissed too, but I don't think this is Morey's fault...

    Firing Morey would ensure the Rockets go back to the dark ages

    It's really early to be throwing Dekker out there as a bust. Do we remember what Capela looked like at this point last season?

    Because Morey fought with Les about firing Mchale after the Denver game. At least that's one of the reasons

    You have a track record of being consistently wrong. You're wrong about this issue just like you were wrong about McFail and just like you were wrong about GSW being contenders last season. In general, you suck more than the prostitutes you have to hire.

    Firing Daryl would be a HUGE mistake! He would have the chance to interview for every GM job that opened in the next decade.

    I don't doubt cyberx. He didn't say Morey was being fired though; he said he was on the hot seat. It makes sense to me that anyone with power would be on the hot seat given the way the team's been playing and Morey clearly gets that.

    I think Morey will do what needs to be done and I liked what he said in his press conference about doing whatever it takes until we're winning. He is obviously taking this as seriously as one possibly could and I believe he is smart and talented enough to figure out what needs doing. I don't have the first idea what that is. If I had the chance to hire anyone in the world to figure it out though, I'd hire Daryl Morey.

    a lot of posters here believe that morey micromanages the coaching staff, dictating the offensive system for instance. considering that we've looked like absolute crap on that end since the beginning of preseason, i wonder how flexible morey is on making changes with that as well.

    Let's look at Morey's track record:

    Hiring Mcfail...first 2 seasons no playoffs and playing .500 finishing 9th

    Bringing in Lin and Harden....playoffs but lost in first round

    Sign Dhoward....playoffs but lost is first round

    Let both Chandler and Lin go but bringing in better pieces...WCF

    Fired Mcfail and bring in Lawson...4-7

    Let see what he does the rest of this season and see if he is able to sign KD.
