    That is some of it, but a lot of this is coming from above.

    There has been a change in protocol the last two seasons since ownership changed.

    Of course, that's why he chose to join a middling team. :rolleyes:

    Hahaha

    He never wanted to play here but we wasted the entire offseason trying to make a sign and trade for him

    Pick of the free agents but we are one of the only teams to have done absolutely nothing

    Used and abused by Jimmy. It was obvious from the beginning and I tried to warn you all but you wouldn't listen.

    By far the biggest question raised in this thread is:

    Why does ClutchFans have both @DreamShook and @Dream Shook? Do we honestly need both?

    I’m not buying the family excuse at all. Just seems like a cop out to me. If you like Miami or LA better as city, fine. Saying you don’t want to play at home because of family issues you is weak. You’ve got hundreds of millions of dollars you can insulate yourself if you want to.

    Im not blaming Butler for choosing Miami he can do what he wants. I’m not blaming the org for not getting him. What pisses me off is all the bluster year after year and then coming up woefully short. It’s not fair to the fans who religiously follow every move the team makes.

    If that’s the case...then once again...why was Morey and everybody leaking stuff about “confidence” and “deals lining up” for Jimmy?

    So dumb

    A death match between the two may be the only action we get this summer. There can be only one.

    for someone saying Fireworks in the off season and then only resigning their own players to one and 3 year deals and then claiming to have a trade and then saying we will only trade if we get butler then not doing anything is pretty much talk no action

    There is a big difference between that statement and what was leaked. Big big difference. Notice that Morey didn't mention any names. Notice that Morey didn't say anything about how confident he was.

    Morey is ALWAYS trying to improve the team and bring in star players. It's not news that Morey is always trying to add star players.

    People around here seem to be upset because players names were revealed, and that Morey was displaying confidence. This info is all from the insiders, not from Morey.

    Mentally ill is assuming someone is “mad” at something he has no control of. I really don’t care if he likes Houston or not just pointing out how much of a b**** he is for the reason he claims doesn’t want to play here.

    i was expecting this sort of reply. but i completely reject it and am not going to reply any further here. everybody who follows the league knew exactly who the *** he was talking about, both in terms of the top free agent and which rockets players would need to be dealt in the S&T. so any further posts claiming this was a harmless generalized quote by morey is tantamount to replying "define the word 'is'?". good day.

    I'm not happy that we didn't get Butler, but I'm also not sad. As long as Kawhi doesn't go to the Lakers, I think the West is still up for grabs. We still have most of our core. Hopefully we can pick up some cheap veterans to help bolster our defense and rebounding.

    Yes, if Kawhi spurns the Lakers then we are in a good spot to compete.

    We definitely aren't the so called "favorites" though imo.
