This probably already has been answered. Is it true that Daryl Morey would consider quitting afte the CP3 debacle?

Magic fans are in dire need of a new GM and I consider Morey a big upgrade over Smith.

i heard that rumor, dunno if its true. but i want him to stay as our gm

Morey is a COLOSSAL upgrade over Smith, who is a near-total moron.

But if that happens.... ...

Let's just say that I'm ecstatic that the Astros "GM" was finally just fired, as it means I might have a chance to root for them again sometime in the next decade.
I was ecstatic when Dawson was fired and Morey showed competent/brilliant move one after another, which meant that the Rockets might finally contend again within a decade.

If this debacle resulted in Morey quitting, and we hired an imbecile in his place....

For the second time when discussing performances at practices, coach Kevin McHale praised guard Kevin Martin for his defense. "Kevin Martin can really defend," McHale said of a player not known for his skills on that end of the court. "He's moving his feet. He's been a team defender."

Maybe McHale is on drug or Kevin improve in response to all the trade news.

in an earlier video he said scola's good on defense too, didnt finish his sentence though. i wonder why....(nice cover up)

next he'll say hasheem has a dominant post game, hill locks down the paint, and yao ming has gotten faster!

If Kevin McHale was 5'10 instead of 6'10 he would have been a used car salesman.

preseason starts tomarrow. they need to let us fans know what direction they are headed. all we need is a tall shot blocking center to get in the playoffs. maybe we can sign sammy d to a one year deal? lol , unless he takes 15-20mil for 3 years, eventually becoming a backup center. i dont mind that. pipe dream i know

another reason to hate the jazz

speaking of the jazz, surprised we haven't heard anything on Kyrylo Fesenko yet since Morey tried to sign him last year when he was restricted and now he is unrestricted.

If Fesenko were to walk into Rockets practice today in his Jazz uniform, take the jersey off and throw it in a trash can and put on a Rockets jersey then he'd instantly be one of my favorite Rockets ever.

hell, it doesn't even have to be Fesenko. That would just be awesome!

the jazz didn't invite him back. I guess he was more of a Jerry Sloan guy than a Ty Corbin guy.

"Who gives a … how hard it is. No one cares, nor should they. We don't have any excuses. We don't care; we're going to keep fighting and winning. We're going to keep trying to make this team a team the city can be proud of and get it back to being a championship-caliber team."

—GM Daryl Morey, on the frustrations of having his trade for C Pau Gasol voided.

Okur mostly sucks these days, doesn't he?

spolgar · Post #358 » by **spolgar** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 4:08 pm

I think it's a good deal. Okur costs a lot of money compared to a second round pick. O'Connor and the Miller family are trying to slash payroll to rebuild.

rocketsballin · Post #359 » by **rocketsballin** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 6:31 pm

i dont think someone sucks just cuz they had only one injury prone year. not hard to bounce back from. if he doesnt get injured again nets got themselves a starting center.

just think of it as

Deron Williams and Okur
for
Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, Enes Kanter, The Warrior's 2012 first, a 2015 second,
