    Scott Machado...Livingston was cut because DM felt Machado was a better player at that time.

    False. Not true at all.

    Again... Livingston had a partially guaranteed contract, and was waived at the same time as the Harden trade.... COINCIDENCE????

    Also, can we stop over rating Shaun Livingston? He's no better than Pablo Prigioni lol. He's just great with the Warriors because he plays behind the best PG in the league and he has the ability to switch and defend positions due to his height. I almost believe anywhere else he'd be a huge after thought. Like I said in a post earlier it's almost impossible to fail if you're put in that situation. You have Klay, Andre, Draymond, Bogut, Festus, and even Barnes to an extent. If you can't play efficiently with those guys surrounding you then you don't belong in the league.

    Ariza has quit along with D12. Don't like it and it's unprofessional. Are they afraid to get in James arse because he doesn't play D or just lose like you don't care!

    Once the player is brought to the team in some capacity is it not the coaches input/call as much as the GM's as to whether that player will get minutes and stick with the team. I know we all believe that Morey has a high level of input on coaching and rotations, but I'm not sure all that blame goes on Morey.

    Deflecting accountability, the root of the problem starts from the top. How can one of most dictating hands-on GM just split himself from this mess? This is more than a roster tweak.

    what i've learned from this thread so far? Morey is distributing talent throughout the NBA like Dwight distributing babies during Twerk Night at the local disco.

    I kinda like new posters, they're so edgy and controversial!
