    In order to win the 1 million on Wheel of Fortune you need to land 1/32 odds to get the Million dollar game piece in your pocket, then you need to avoid landing on bankrupt for the entire show, then you need to beat the other two contestants and make it to the bonus round by solving the most puzzles, then you need to spin against 1/32 odds again to obtain your mystery prize, then you need to solve the bonus round puzzle where you may only get 3 letters if your lucky, and then if you solve the puzzle Pat Sajack will reveal the unfortunate contents of your mystery envelope to see if you got the million dollar or prize or a pack of milk producing goats.

    Daryl Morey has it easy.

    Still surprised that Morey passed up on the 7 million dollar cheap pg contract. McHale hated short pgs so that may have had something to do with it. Questioning Morey quite a bit recently for not getting us center depth and wanting to blow our sacred money on Kent Bazlemore for 20+ million.

    Easily top three thus far in the Morey mess ups. I never liked the move honestly from day one. But if he could have traded for two youngins for one of two forwards and you couldn't keep both anyways....

    if he could've avg the same numbers in his last year in nop i'd be ok with it. u have to overpay some players. he does have the talent to be a reliable 3rd option, something around 16-18ppg. he doesnt cuz he's a ****in bum. 4 rebounds for a pf who avg 30mpg, ****in sad. everyone's in love with this guy though.

    Might be a good player in the East, would get destroyed out West. Also super liability on defense. We as an organisation have our share of developing quality pgs. Considering the starting PGs for Toronto, Brooklyn, Miami just off the top of my head have been in our system. What we need is more Off-guards/ Wing defenders.

    According to TMac, the Toyota Center has depth perception problem. Maybe that's why almost every shooter gets worse after he joins the Rockets.

    ESPN "analysts" predict that IT will be shopped now that they have the #1 pick. Still don't think Morey will bite and besides he'll command a much bigger payday.

    It's not going that way. If we get kawhi, he will become another Ariza

    Do we have the personnel or the staff members that can guide a young player to greatness?

    He also had a pretty healthy year by his standards. We shouldn't just trade Ryan to trade him after a disappointing playoff without have sort of potential replacement.

    Can we trade our 1st rounder again consecutively 3 times in a row? If not can we trade a future pick under the rule?

    Don't forget:

    1) Letting Chandler Parsons out of a rookie scale contract for no compensation
    2) Playing hardball with D-Mo, who we really could have used in the playoffs after Nene went down
    3) Attempting to acquire Nene as the centerpiece of his rebuilding scheme, only to be saved from himself by the league vetoing the trade (Nene at the minimum was a good pickup though)
    4) Trading Beaseley, who was somewhat decent for us, for a worthless player
    5) Building around mentally weak players like Dwight Howard and James Harden rather than winners
    6) Pursuing Chris Bosh before 2014. It was like Morey had a Chris Bosh obsession (even though he wasn't very good) and ignored better and more realistic options
    7) Cutting Jeremy Lin, only to have him blow up with the Knicks, then giving him a big contract that he wasn't worth, then giving the Lakers a draft pick to take him off our hands to clear cap room for a trade that never happened

    Morey is a largely incompetent GM who has been saved by drafting better than average in the second round.

    It's hard to believe a guy that is even shorter than Iverson with a shorter reach could dominate so well even in the PlayOffs. Iverson probably shocked at this man himself.

    LOL if those are points that make you think morey is incompetent, then DM is just that much better. Half of these points are pretty dumb and the fact that you think chris bosh wasn't very good tells us a lot about your bball iq.

    Nene got hurt... and our all offense all the time coach had no backup plan and didn't even really try to come up with one. Pops is a better coach. Having IT would not have changed the outcome of this series... unless he would have gotten hurt instead of Nene.

    Win the series and the whole team is great, Morey is a genius, and Harden is easily the best player in the league.

    Lose the series and the whole team sucks, Morey is a bad GM, and Harden needs to be traded now.

    I love Clutchfans
