    nobody can ever name the replacement, because we all know there’s no realistic option that would obviously be better...I’m not 1 of those thinks Morey is some god, and I’m so sick and tired of Moreyball, but we could easily do much worse

    like, if Masai were available, I’d want Morey out ASAP, but he’s not

    Mike Zarren or Hinkie but Morey is equal to both and isn’t leaving.

    If Tilman is making the decisions & overriding his GM(as CF says), does it matter who the GM is?

    "Morey is handcuffed!"
    "Tilman is making decisions!"
    "Tilman is overriding his GM!"
    "Tilman has ruined this roster!"

    Im ready to move om from Morey and Harden... Its not working. They have had 3 different all stars come thru here with 3 different skill sets and we cant make it work with any of them.

    The problem is on the coach. He decided on small ball and trade out cp3 and caplea. No rotation and weak defence. Due to salary gap, the quality of players for other starters are very low.

    Remain Harden and trade all existing players much better

    Many think he is handcuffed to sleep better at night.

    Truth is Tilman listens to Morey when it comes to bball decisions.

    Tilman makes some decisions on his own and cut costs while Morey does modify the Moreyball system.

    It's a relationship.

    You act like you don't already know the answer.

    We already know it's Tilman's son.

    Goodbye competent franchise.

    Hello Knicks 2.0

    I don't have specific names, but what about some high ranking assistant from another successful org. It doesn't seem like there would be any shortage of those types willing to interview for this job. If you want me to go scouring around org. charts, I could, but you get the point. Also, I don't want Morey gone because I think he is unqualified, he definitely is. I want him gone because I am sick of Moreyball.

    I would just like to get him a true second option player before saying that. Like...a legit Second option....Like you saw Westbrook out there, you know how bad he is.

    Rockets needs a normal GM that thinks mid range shots is useful and coach is important.

    No drama queen.

    There is no one GM like Morey that so much like showing himself in media. He should work as actor instead of GM.

    Oh it definitely matters.

    People will absolutely get tired of blaming Tilman. More scapegoats spices it up a little. :D
