    Morey going to Philly is gonna and we we slowly deplete our franchise. He’s gonna pull harden to Philly soon within a year. Then slowly destroy our team. Also we got Tilman as our owner. This is the next Bambino curse.

    Babe Ruth Won Championships in Boston before the Yankees. In his 20s, as a Pitcher also.

    James Harden is not close to Babe Ruth.

    James Harden is closer to Iverson.

    Tillman will never deal with Daryl Morey ever again, after the trash talk about Tillman. You don't think Tillman is mad about that statement. Every time Daryl Morey calls, just block his number.

    Daryl will never win a Championship.
    The League hates him, Adam Silver and the referees love to screw Morey. Daryl is a black cloud since the San Antonio Goaltending Game and the Stupid Report he sent to the League office saying younger referees are better than the older referees. All the referees got angry and gave zero hard no calls on Harden, Westbrook, Gordon since than. Hopefully the calls will be normal now. The China Tweet just burdened Harden and Westbrook Shoe Sales and burdened the Franchise. Daryl has cost us Playoff Games because of Referee hatred towards Morey.

    We never won anything with Morey, stop with the nonsense. There is no curse. I was pro Morey when he was here. He is no longer. Move on.

    Do people not realize Harden is locked up for 2 more years and there’s a 3rd year that’s a player option at nearly $48 million???

    sure maybe he declines that... though it’s increasingly possible the cap WONT BE UP by that time. More likely he’ll want to have an extension negotiated before then.

    all of which is to say... he might force his way to Philly but more likely will not have that much leverage. AD had only one year left on his deal., EVERYONE knew he was going to sign with LAP, and the NOP still had enough leverage to get a solid package back.

    Morey isn’t everything guys. All he did was trade all our first round picks, draft undersize PG/PF every year, get us excited about trades that never happen, make us shoot 1,000 per game and go small. Thank you for getting us Harden though.

    When I talk to people who aren’t Rockets fan, they always told me Morey was holding us back. They point out our ridiculous predictable system. My friend is now scared of James Harden, because he will actually take mid range jumpers next year.

    Was kinda hoping for another Larry O'B trophy while I'm still on the planet. Not fun having my hopes dashed like this.

    Currently pinning my hopes on a Tilman financial meltdown necessitating a sale of his biggest assets.

    You talk to people who aren't rockets fans who have 0 clue about what morey does. How in the world does that warrant anything meaningful. what a anecdote there

    I wish TF and co would give Clyde and Hakeem the opportunity to make decisions for the franchise without hindrance. This will not happen. Stone and co need professional help. I feel that this is the best way out.

    Can someone tell me why Morey is so big on Philly calling it “can’t miss opportunity”? This team hasn’t shown much promise with its current roster including the two stars, which has underperformed in the playoffs two years in a row. Baffled.

    No, departure of Morey is addition by subtraction. His philosophy, stubbornness , number crunching and lack of viewing players other than as assets, has hurt the Rockets franchise tremendously. They may have 2-3 tough years coming up, but their chances to compete for a ring improve significantly with Morey gone with his one trick pony basketball strategies.

    By the way Harden is an extension of Morey's ineptitude. Get rid of him as well if you want things to turn around in a positive direction.

    Typical Morey language. Simmons has no jumper, Embiid plays hurt, Tobias is weak on defense, Horford is okay, but his contract is too big. They're good enough to compete in the East, health permitting.

    Harden still has better chances with a Cali team.

    GSW, Clips and Lake show.

    I mean yeah if Stone pulls the plug, otherwise would not be demanding to go to the Sixers.

    Until they move Simmons or add a third superstar they can’t win. Simmons isn’t that guy but makes that guy money. I suppose he likes to take on difficult projects. But that roster isn’t a championship contending roster and has personnel issues.

    With the Heat rising, they are clearly behind the Heat, Celts, Raptors and the Bucks.
