Daryl "Playstation" Morey ended that era. He opened the gates for Fantasy League armchair GMs to dump and pipedream assets and forget they're people.
I predict there will be new McHale bashing threads on an almost daily basis next season. Over under for the season is 81.5
Probably Parsons, not worth 15 mil a year unless he steps up his game. Might be Harden if he still doesn't play defense.
My immediate response is Parsons because he is overpaid. But, it could be Harden unless he improves his defense.
1) McHale. Not even close. 2) Parsons. If only because he's making over 15 mil a season now. That's superstar money, so he better start playing D and showing up in the postseason. 3) Harden. He's been terrific in the regular season, but his last 3 playoff series dating back to his OKC days have been disappointments. He has a lot to prove this year. 4) Morey. Props for landing Bosh(assuming he's not a moron and chooses Miami over us), but he knows the deficiencies the Rockets still have. Namely defense and depth. He had to sacrifice the latter just to get Bosh and retain Parsons, so he has his work cut out for him still.
Parsons. Pretty boy is getting paid same as Harden at 15 mil. McHale is so deep in the ****, he can no longer be called scapegoat. He's THE goat
One thing is for sure. If we don't win it all next year there will be people here saying what Morey did was a complete failure and went about things the wrong way. There will be no grace period for some. Win it next year or that's it. And it will be just as dumb as the people saying he's been a failure up to this point. Also McHale and Harden will hear it all season. There will be no shortage of complaining.
I wouldn't worry about McHale. He doubles the size of his playbook by adding "Bosh Iso" and "Parsons $15 Million Man Iso". But seriously, make or break year for McHale.
