I bet that was one reason he was so frustrated last night, especially after getting crushed by the two guys he traded.

Here is my reasoning for each:
Morey: Pulled off the deals for Lin and Asik and got them on to poison pill contracts that will not harm the team until 2015. He successfully traded for James Harden and got him to agree to a contract extension giving them a top tier SG for the foreseeable future. He made 2 trades at the trade deadline and succesfully obtained the #5 pick in last years draft and got a draft pick for lower end bench players. They not only did the trade and got more flexibility they now have enough expiring contracts and cap space to go after their big man gem in Dwight Howard.
Hennigan: was given the reigns of control literally 2 weeks before the draft. He fired the entire front office staff and all coaching staff except for Mark Price at the time. He successfully drafted Nicholson and O'Quinn in a draft when he easily could have gotten burned. He traded the centerpiece and figurehead (aka Cancer) of the team and completed a very complex and intricated deal giving us anywhere from 3-7 draft picks (see terms on Philly and lakers 1st picks), also gave us our Center of the foreseeable future, and got the largest TPE in NBA history. Continuing on he hired an incredible front office staff which gave us the scouting ability to pull off the JJ trade. He signed Jameer Nelson the captain of the organization to a contract which only will benefit us in the future to obtain more benefits. The team has cap space to sign a max level free agent should the choose to do so which is something the team has not had in close to 7 years.
Now between the two I think the nod goes to Morey only because they have a winning record and are in the playoffs. I think orlando is too raw for now and Hennigan could possibly win the Exec of Year next year seeing how this summer goes.

If you're going to include Hennigan, you have to include Mitch Kupchak and the Lakers. He turned Bynum, McRoberts and Eyenga into Dwight Howard, Earl Clark, Steve Nash, and Duhon. Considering Bynum hasn't played yet, McRoberts was just dumped and Eyenga was cut before the season I say that was a good exchange. Can't use the worse than last season excuse, if you consider how bad we look currently.

Yeah, I was really upset about it when he told me as well. As VGOSWAMI said, he has his reasons though. There was a reason why I took his job doing the stats for the Spec thread lol.
I'm honestly surprised it took people here this long to find out though.
EDIT: I'm going to post the updated stats a little later.
As your business partner, it would've been nice if you had given me a heads up on the DJ situation.
Welp, it looks like we are fully responsible for the Spec. Thread. I think we've been doing a pretty good job on keeping this thread going.
Take your time on the stats. As usual, no rush.

Turkoglu? Davis?
