Did you know that Les actually petitioned NBA Commissioner Adam Silver for changes to the draft lottery and schedule structure to reduce incentives for losing including a minimum win threshold for top draft picks. This was in 2014 - The Rockets were one of 14 teams who approved of the measures which failed to pass.
Correct…. Because you lack the critical thinking. And now you are moving the goalposts to “ well how could that be true because people are upset at morey”.
Well you are arguing about critical thinking while doing none and providing no counter evidence. You just keep dismissing everything and literally trying to tell folks who were there for these Morey arguments that it didn’t happen.
The norm for you is to act like the supreme lord of basketball knowledge on every basketball topic and then any time your opinion is challenged you deny reality or move goalposts. You don’t come right out and say you are never wrong, your actions repeatedly say “I know what I know and I don’t care what info you have”. Then you think everyone else is the ******* because they can’t stand posters like yourself. So it can only mean 2 things and 2 things only? No possible chance there’s another much simpler explanation? He went to Philly and already had Embiid. He did what every single other GM in basketball history would do….try his best to build around his star by trades and free agency like he did once he landed Harden in Houston. How could anyone blame Morey if he had a mandate not to tank? Simple. He wasn’t perfect even if he was operating under difficult constraints. He made mistakes. I and others think he did an amazing job here, but I don’t think anyone thinks he made every right move.
