Dwight, why you do dis?

I agree that Morey is a gem of a GM but either we choose him and a full rebuild or we fire him and go after big free agents. We can't have both. As much as a clown Howard is players stick up for players and no star player wants to be treated like Morey just did to Dwight even if Morey is 100% right.
LMAO Dwight at it again, lol. Predictable. For some reason we thought he would be different here and I have no idea why. Dwight gave himself a reduced role by not being able to shoot or defend and refusing to set picks it's literally that simple. SO this confirms Nash, Kobe, Artest, D'antoni, Lewis, and, Van Gundy all correct. It also gives us a glimpse into why a lot of people hate Dwight.
Dwight is a drama queen who is totally overrated He blew up the locker room in Orlando He blew up the locker room in LA He blew up the locker room in Houston 4 coaches fired to boot The guy thinks he is a Olajuwon and is living off some crap that happened ten seasons ago when in fact, he has a sorry post game, cant shoot free throws, and is overall mentally weak
Dwight the cancer has been completely and totally confirmed. WOW.. just wow man. I wish this man baby never came to Houston. I was delusionally happy when we got him and I ignored everything Laker and Magic fans said and they said the same things. "Dwight pouts when he has to set picks" I ignored that **** and it turns out it's real, lol. WOW. What a loser.
I don't think it's an either/or situation. The Morey-treats-players-badly narrative has been around for a while. Remember a few off seasons ago Cuban blasted him for treating guys like assets? I'm not so sure it actually has an impact on whether free agents want to come. It's about talent and coaching. Sadly, we are in the process of botching the coaching.

dwight should probably stop doing his own interview hit pieces. "i'll pout and not play hard if i don't get the ball, even if i'm not good at posting up." have been the themes of his tnt interview and this one.
So, Morey is right. No way Dwight should've been more involved in the offense. He didn't commit to setting screens either and he has a horrible post up game so it's all on himself. I don't blame Morey for that and I doubt it went the way Dwight is saying. Playing the victim is a role that suits Dwight perfectly.
isn't cuban the guy who got rid of tyson chandler after tyson helped him win his championship so he could one day sign some other people?
He did play great in playoffs but chemistry issues rooted from dwight. He was the source of all the issues
Funny how leadership and chemistry and winning weren't question last year when Dwight missed half the season. Funny how that works, indeed.
Defense was our problem all year, so you mean to tell me this man baby stopped playing defense, he stopped setting picks, he stopped playing hard because he wasn't going to be featured in the post? Something is totally not good at. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this ****, lol WOW This dude was being paid 20 million dollars all year just to quit. BTW That's not Morey's fault Les wants an uptempo game. We've known this since they got Lin.
Doesn't seem like it. He might have taken himself out of games for a large portion of the regular season but he's not the reason Trevor, Brew, and Jet were throwing up bricks all day. Say what you will about Dwight, but him and James were the best chance we've had to make it to the finals and even win one. Now we are done. Do you think any free agents are going to want to come here with Morey's growing 'don't give a **** about the players' reputation? With Les's growing temper tantrum reputation? With Harden's reputation? Harden will walk in 2017 when his contract is done. I hope we can get some good pieces for him in a sign and trade.
this is why we have no hope of signing any free agents. all the best teams are the ones that give in to their players' every demand. could you imagine pop telling a player no to something that will hurt the team even if the player wants to do it?
