idk if that was due to MDA... or guys fearing the return of the Biglydick and figuring they better get their crap together before he walks back in the door... lol
I'm just glad he's back. As I mentioned (forgot the thread),it was for family-related issues. Not minor, but significant. We're lucky to have him back. I'll be able to say more once he says his truth. Good guy.
I think he came back on the condition Melo's ass stays on the bench. It's too obvious given the timing and their history.
My thought, too. In fact, here's the conspiracy theory version of it, with imagined dialogue... June: Almost took down the dynasty. Everyone's determined to #RunItBack. Aug 13: Rockets sign Melo Sep 17: Bzdelik retires ("I warned you about this, Daryl. I can't be around the guy.") October: Rockets suck Nov 5 conversation: Morey: "Biglydick, come back, we're desperate." Bzdelik: "Is Melo still there?" Morey: "Um..." Bzdelik: "I told you that I'm never going through that again, Daryl. It's either me or Melo, take your pick." Morey: "Will you come back if I promise he'll be gone by Thanksgiving?" Bzdelik: "I'll come back when he's gone. Not a minute before." Morey: {long pause} "Okay, I'll make it happen. See you on Black Friday." Five days later: Melo misses consecutive games and the rumors start to fly. Morey is caught off-guard because the news leaked before he'd even talked to Melo about it. Holds a presser to say everyone is being evaluated. Soon: Ciao, Carmelo! "He was a good soldier and did everything we asked of him." Good luck extending your career elsewhere. Immediately afterward: CP3 and Harden hold a players-only meeting, recommit to #RunItBack!
