Nah Morey got us to within a hamstring of eliminating the greatest basketball team ever assembled. That's what Morey's idea lead to. Some people really don't understand context.
Yeah but he did trade Paul, Capela, Westbrook right? Extended Gordon, and then decided it be a good idea to put Tucker on Anthony Davis with his revolutionary small ball experiment. Not to mention that to even get Paul, he traded away every single asset we had for only two years of which the only outcome and takeaway was "we were a hamstring away". Should we hang a banner in Toyota Center that says "2017-2018 a hamstring away of being Champions". Yeah, great job Morey. You totally ruined The Rockets future for that. Take away Morey bringing Harden and the man did absolutely nothing to make The Rockets competitive and now we had to trade Harden away in order to rebuild the dumpster fire Morey left.
It's almost as if you're not aware that there was some strange force in the background forcing Morey to make a lot of those moves. Or, do you believe Morey woke up every single morning and had the freedom to do what he wanted? Yikes. Haha, as terrible as your post is. I did get a laugh out of your 'great job Morey you totally ruined the Rockets future' comment. Oh man what I wouldn't give to be so oblivious and ignorant.
Honestly I think this is a terrific idea! theres too many worshiping of titles and so they become overrated... lesser sucesses should be celebrated and appreciated.. Life consist of small things mainly...
I sort of knew you were going to resort to something along the lines of "ignorant" I wonder why. I wonder why you feel you aren't, why you are so certain about your opinion that you leave no room for anything to creep in and possibly distort your stubborn mindset that has shown great inability for expansion or consideration towards something different. I wouldn't know but I'm going to assume you weren't there when Tilman stormed in and screamed at Morey to save money and get rid of Paul. I'm sure Harden had nothing to do with the Westbrook deal. I'm sure Tilman then demanded Morey to go small ball all the way and pressured Morey into forcing a 6'5 player to play center. Yeah bud, Tilman absolutely had everything to do with every single trade that happened and Harden nor Morey or MDA had a single input on these decisions. An organization with a super star player who just forced himself out of the team just sat quietly through the Paul trade, MDA a coach who is known for his stubborn 6 man rotation and small ball just sat quietly for the last 3 seasons. A GM who whole heartedly believed in only shooting 3's and could not put a single good three point shooter on the team just sat there and did nothing as Tilman forced his hand. 100% of your posts are absolutely terrible, you turn everything into a Tilman bash. Everything, here is a suggestion. Relax, maybe Tilman is not out to ruin your life. Maybe the people you worship just simply decided they don't give a damn about your team and left. Or wait, you rather have Morey, MDA and Harden back despite the fact that in 8 years we never made it to the finals and the value of each and every one of them was already dropping.
I really have to question why you still said something so utterly ridiculous (and stupid) - if you 'knew' I was going to come out and call you ignorant for it. That actually defies belief. You 'knew' the outcome... yet still went ahead with your zero IQ post. Is your name Patrick by any chance? Why am I so certain about my opinion? Let me break it down for you pal, you can apparently read the future but don't have an utter clue of the past which boggles my mind, but anyway. You claimed the following, and blamed it on Morey: - traded Paul. Yet we know that is a decision that was forced by Tilman. So the Morey style of play you hate being all about 3s, resulted in Morey wanting to bring in statistically one of the worst shooters in history? Riiiiiight. That's strike one on you. - traded Capela. Context. Do you understand what that is? Do you understand that if Tilman did not force the above trade, Capela would not have been traded? Do you realise 'small ball' that you hate Morey for was in fact a result and brought about entirely because of the inefficiencies of the player brought back in the forced trade above. Let me repeat it for you. THE TRADE THAT WAS FORCED BY TILMAN FERTITTA. The one that if Morey was allowed to do his job without any outside influence, would never in one million years have ever been made. I'll try to break it down again so you understand. No Tilman interference -> no Westbrook -> no Westbrook = no need to get rid of every single person inside the perimeter aka our big man -> Capela still being here. That's strike two on you. - Westbrook. What exactly is your point here mentioning him. That he was brought here? Or that he was traded away? Goodness gracious me read the above point again because I'm hoping it's sinking in for you by now. - blamed the GM for a coaching decision in the Playoffs. Without any further explanation I'm just going to go and chuck another strike on your record because out of all the garbage you've posted, that takes the cake for the most illogical nonsense I've read so far. Yeah I totally blame my boss for typos in my emails. That's a real thing right? I mean of course it is - whatever you can do to tar Morey (here's a hint: it's not a good look for your point of view when you've got to make up things to tar him with. You know the difference between what I say about Tilman VS what you say about Morey? Come on pal, surely even YOU can understand that right? Right?) - here you go again circling back to the Paul trade, which is going to bring yet another strike to your name. The guy who 'treats his players as assets'. The guy who resurrected this franchise for his penchant to stockpile assets. All of a sudden woke up one day and said 'yeah you know what every tradable asset we have lets get rid of it'. I.. I'm at a loss for words over someone can have this little understanding of what exactly has gone on with this organisation. I'm wasting my time here trying to talk sense into you, so I'll just advise you to re-read points above because MOREY. DID. NOT. MAKE. THAT. TRADE. Please read that line over, and over, and over again until it sticks in your head. Just chuck another strike on your list. I can't even count how many you're upto right now because you're racking them up left right and centre. You're racking them up as quickly as Tilman Fertitta trades away draft picks to dodge the luxury tax. Haha - see what I did there? It probably went over your head. Hey, let's rewind to your complaint about Tucker. Wouldn't it be marvellous if the GM of this team was allowed to use the tools available to his discretion, and the way he sees fit. Wouldn't it be amazing if we had our draft picks to trade to upgrade the roster here and there and iron out some tweaks. I wonder why the GM couldn't do that recently. Oh, I know why it is. Silly me. Tilman gave a mandate to get under the luxury tax so he didn't have to pay any more money than necessary. And a result of that was trading draft picks attached to salaries so other teams would accept them. Haha. Stupid Morey. What a dumb-dumb. Damn you Daryl! Hahahaha rebuild the dumpster fire Morey left. You do have some funny one liners I'll give you that. Not funny as in haha funny. More funny as in you've got to laugh at how stupid you are otherwise it would do my head in trying to comprehend just how little someone can understand basketball. Don't worry though, with penny pincher Tilman Fertitta at the helm, there won't be any "we were a hamstring away" banners hanging from the rafters. You sure won't need to worry about that!! Heck, you won't even need to hang any "perennial 9th seed in the West" banners in the TC either!! Just stop and think. inherited a 65 win championship team. And in only a few very, very short years look at where he's brought the team. I've got to give it to you. You and Tilman both actually seem to have a similar standing when it comes to basketball.
Stopped reading at your first incredibly uneducated and absurd point, it was a waste of time reading the rest. https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...hris-paul-forced-the-russell-westbrook-trade/ https://www.si.com/nba/2019/07/12/james-harden-russell-westbrook-chris-paul-trade-rockets-thunder https://www.republicworld.com/sport...ear-had-rockets-failed-to-sign-westbrook.html Keep trying to convince yourself you are smart, maybe one day you will be. Only stupid people think everyone else around them are actually the stupid ones.
Stopped reading at the first point? Or having a hard time rebutting everything else? Haha good one though, almost believable. Yes yes, because we all know Harden went to Morey and floated the idea. Thus the driving point. Can you let me know if Harden said "trade for Westbrook or trade me" ? Or was it the owner who said Chris Paul has the worst contract he'd ever seen, that forced the trade because he didn't want to be paying that money? Swing and a miss
Stopped reading after the first point because you are wrong, you keep ignoring Harden... You keep ignoring everything that does not fit into your logic and acting as if it never existed. You wont even dare say, Paul's contract was bad. IT WAS!!!! I'm sure Tilman did not want to pay it, I wouldn't have either. Maybe the owner felt it was a bad contract, the star said he couldn't win with him and the GM traded for one of the few players available that Harden approved bringing. Maybe just maybe it was not all just Tilman, maybe all of them had reasons to get rid of Paul..... And even then, if they did not get rid of Paul assuming it was all Tilman you think Harden would have genuinely worked it out? You think we would have found other players to fill the void of losing Ariza and Prince? We had no one to trade, no one. We had no way of competing against Lakers, the hamstring away season was it... That was the window and the moment Paul was out the window shut close. All the years of Morey putting together that specific team were gone, wasted. All the deals Morey did to even get us there was gone once Paul was out. The Rockets gave everything they had for that moment and lost. There was no coming back from that. That's why we are here having this stupid argument. I was anti Tilman since he acquired the team, cracked enough jokes just like everyone. Photoshoped him on being cheap. But things started to click once Harden did what he did, Harden himself admitted he handled it poorly. Maybe he handled other things poorly, like the Paul trade. Maybe you should give Tilman a chance. When news breaks out that Tilman did not want to sign a super star free agent that wanted to be in Houston I'll come back and say DSniper was right, but until then I see smart moves that could pay off in the future. Hopefully they do, for the sake of The Rockets. That's our team, not the Sixers.... Not the Nets.... Not where any of these figures went to.
