    Just heard it on ESPN radio. There's a link on the front page of ESPN ("Simmons") where you can hear it.

    Simmons loves Morey. He envies Morey. This is no secret.

    But, to be honest, Morey has killed it at the trade deadline.

    Simmons loves Dork Elvis! I hope he has him on the podcast again sometime soon.

    I think Morey deserves applause for sure.

    However, the Lakers picking up Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown was definitely the biggest steal I can recall ever.

    He basically raped the trade deadline lol. I knew there was something missing when rockets are giving up tmac and carl for kevin martin. I thought we were just getting martin and hill with jeffries, but 2 top picks? amazing he plays poker really well LOL

    Morey sits with Simmons when we play the Clippers. They both promote the other person.

    My favorite my non-player sports figures:
    1. Bill Simmons
    2. D. Morey

    Not really. The Grizz got Marc Gasol's rights, and the Lakers' 2008 and 2010 first rounders. Of course, they turned the 2008 first rounder into Darrell Arthur, but we'll see what they can do this coming draft.

    Either way, Pau for Marc isn't too bad; Marc is turning out to be a pretty nice player, plus draft picks. They #%&*ed the 2008 draft pick up, but maybe they'll nail the 2010? Anyway, it's not a complete steal as everyone thought it was initially.

    Morey took no prisoners in this deal. I'm absolutely ecstatic

    Simmons is a tool...no basketball knowledge, just full of homerism.

    The Memphis/LA trade wasn't at the deadline.

    Nah... Morey makes the other guys think they are playing poker but Morey's really playing 4-dimensional chess with help from a time-travel machine he built with kitchen utensils and a couple of AA batteries. He's not Dork Elvis, he's Einstein Elvis.
