    Of course! He's Asian!

    Oops, that's racist... ;)

    Look forward to watching him play for the Rox.

    Hiw many times are we going to post that here? Those guys are Internet facebook trolls that are butt hurt. Not uncommon to see that. Plenty of NY fans and media are pissed off at the Knicks and Dolan.

    ^ This

    It's obviously going to seem worse when they purposely cut and pasted all the negative and most racist comments into one picture.

    The only people that are upset in NYC are Asians. I don't hear anyone else complaining. That contract is ridiculous.

    The kid is Matt Maloney reincarnated. When you start seeing 2nd tier pg's blow right by him, you will see the contract is not worth it...especially in year 3.

    I am not saying he can't play. I am saying he is overrated comparable to the contract he signed. In addition, we just keep doing stupid, lateral moves! What is the use of being 42-40 and barely missing the playoffs then getting a 14th pick year after year?

    But whatever. Fans are as much to blame. They buy into Moreys BS...just accept mediocrity for 15+ years. Morey wouldn't last 2 secs in Boston or LA or any place that has a culture of winning.

    Like my dad. Season tickets since 1979 and he just...he is more passionate about the freakin Dodgers than about the Rockets! Goes to almost every game and just...happy to be there. :/

    I couldn't do that. I need to see some progress already. Lin isn't it.

    Morey can just step down at GM and go run the Marketing Department.

    I am just glad this is all over. I will be curious to see how Lin gets treated in MSG. Like we treat Beltran at MMP? Or will he get a standing O?

    I was OK with either outcome, but no one can argue that we did not need a PG. Now that he's here, I think Lin will fit McHale's offense to a T. He will get the support he needs, and be handed the reins. Just stay healthy brother. The offense is atrting o look exciting with

    Now, on to a rim protecting big man.

    LOL

    Facebook, twitter and real gm tell a different story.

    Morey has had 3 mediocre seasons. Danny Ainge took over in Boston in 2003. Here are his records:
    36-46
    45-37
    33-49
    24-58

    So 4 pathetic seasons, in the East. He lasted. He then managed to get 2 HOFs gift wrapped to him and all of a sudden became a "great GM."

    As far as New York, Zeke took over as GM in 2004. Here are his records:
    33-49
    23-59
    33-49
    23-59
    32-50

    He was then replaced. So he had 5 years that were far worse than any under Morey. And lasted. He was replaced by Donnie Walsh who was considered a good GM. Under his watch they went 42-40.

    Yeah, Boston and New York wouldn't tolerate Morey and his "mediocrity."

    55-27
    53-29
    42-40
    43-39
    34-32

    This is where you are wrong. For the rockets, it's about 8/8/8. For NYK, it would have been 5/5/15. His contract isn't that bad at all and if it cmes to worst, he's very tradable.
