    Well Morey he is a gm he lies and e is unapologetic about it. Sometimes you are going to get dumped as well. Take the bitter with the sweet.

    I just wanted one player under 23yrs of age with some potential to be included in the deal.Was that too much to ask for .

    It seems even Rockets do not want Oladipo and hence the Rockets got an expiring contract player for a reason.

    The Rockets like Victor Oladipo. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this.

    The average career is low because of all the scrubs and old players (25+) who srart in the NBA. Whats the average career for 19 yr old max players?

    You really think Simmons will retire next year? The whole premise of your argument doesnt make any sense dude is 24 and I bet he'll have a longer career than "1A" Embiid.

    Do you know you what incompetent means? So you think he is incompetent because his boss forced him to do something for his boss' franchise? Even if thats not the case just cuz he didnt want to waste time doesnt mean he is automatically incompetent. You have made a mistake at work I guess that means you are incompetent as well right?

    We all knew this would happen, that Tilman would refuse to deal with Morey but at least Morey didn't know that and we used the 76ers to get the most out of the Nets deal.

    Morey needs a reality check... And Tillman wrote it.. It'll probably bounce though later

    Then they should have done their homework and realized Oladipo wants to be in Miami or LA.

    Screw you, Daryl. There was no way you were getting Harden after what you pulled. I actually like Daryl a lot more than I like Tilman, but this is good theatre. I have to believe it was nothing more than a big “F U” from start to finish.

    Imagine being so stupid, you spite someone at the detriment of your own billion dollar franchise.

    You cannot say enough bad words about Tilman Fertitta.

    Suunds like Rockets thought they had a deal until Tilman heard of it and said, "Not dealing with Morey. Besides I want to save $$"
