Fran Blinebury dissing Morey - Would Scapegoat Adelman Fit Lakers?

Sekou Smith looks whiter than usual.

 

i agree clutch, but when it comes down to principle, hes correct.

Especially in light of what feign has said regarding Morey wanting to tell adelman what players to play and the disconnect between him not being informed of integral decisions to his own team.

 

Rep'd! :grin:

 

He's just rambling on, Yeah some points he had correct, Gay battier was a bad move on Morey's part, but given the situation at the time, it was what the Rockets needed.

He got the Artest situation completely wrong. Yao was out indefinitely that year, Artest wasn't getting any younger, and he was only brought in for a championship team with Yao and Mcgrady. Signing a younger Ariza was a good move.

 

Lots of misleading statements in that article to help him make his point.

I think you forgot a step, Franny..

Huh?

 

Fran is a fool.

 

There are legitimate reasons to criticize Morey's performance, Fran listed none of them.

 

Fran's point, though, is that the Rockets frequently make short, 1-year moves, jumping from one player to the next. There's a lack of stability and forward momentum. A lot of that has to do with the Rockets trying to make "get rich quick" acquisitions while depending on a shaky Yao/McGrady foundation.

The last 2 years, the Rockets expressed goal was to acquire a star player and defensive presence. And all they've come up with, really, is Kevin Martin and Hasheem Thabeet.

 

he sounds like an idiot.

 

Let's see if they approve my comment I posted on that article

 

Fran is right for once.

 

What did I miss? I just listened to an audio interview with Feigen in which he says Morey would in no way tell a coach which players to play.

None of this makes sense to me. Makes me want to go back to the days of Rudy T and CD where a scrub would go off for 20 points in a pre-season game and secure a max contract.

I think we're still paying Matt Maloney, aren't we?

 

w/ this roster, stability is meaningless. we can't stay pal until we get a star, then build around him. in last few years, morey tried to build around yao who he was betting on. of coz, he lost but i understand and treat it as one poker game loss. what's the point to have all role players but you even don't know who is your core of the team and what type your team plays will depend on what type of star you have on your team.

 

Well IMHO the Yao/Tmac situation was a desperate gamble, but one the Rox had to make. Had those two been healthy we would have had the foundation for a dynasty, and unfortunately you can't replace talent like those guys so easily. So IMHO if you were playing an odds game it was better to gamble on those two rather than trade them for spare parts and go look for another star.

Regarding the goals, 2 years is too short a deadline to get both a star player and a defensive presence. Saying all they've come up with is KM and Thabeet is totally wrong; Courtney Lee, Jordan Hill, T-will and Dragic are all worth more than Thabeet.

 

when we make it to the playoffs everyone would be thanking morey and the new coach .. im pretty sure.

 

Pre-cisely!

As soon as we start winning next season (if we have one) and make it to the playoffs Morey instanltly regains his Wizard of All status.

For now he's made every mistake in the book and is the worst GM the league has seen EVER!

 

It was the fact that the coaching staff was kept in the loop like they should have and weighed in, and ultimately ended up hastening through rotational differences due to the lack of instability, something Yao /tmac brought enough of.

Sorry I didn't clarify.
