You can get that kind of productivity from Marvin Williams at a quarter of the price.

Lolbron won those chips in Miami. Not that goofy dinosaur. If anyone is screwed, it's Miami.

Bosh isn't playing for numbers. But even so, he put up numbers on championship teams where his role, right or wrong, was to stretch the D. He also makes some clutch plays in the playoffs though.

Marvin Williams put up 9 and 5 on a lottery team.

Ridiculous comparison any way you look at it.

Morey is the guy in monopoly that trades all his properties to get boardwalk and park place and then puts hotels on them. When it hits it hits, and when it doesnt you lose the game.

Yes they are kind of screwed now, but I am thinking of a master plan... Love for Harden+Jones!!! Sign Lance, match for Parsons.

- Re-hire the worst coach in the NBA
- Don't get any of the guys we were targeting
- Have the same team as last year minus Lin and Asik

Not the best off-season so far. FML

What attitude does he have toward players? I thought he was just a dick to other FO's.

Players? I think you meant to say "assets."

It's just math, after all.

This is where the Rockets screwed up.

McHale probably turned Bosh off how he'll be featured within the offense.

Either ways, Morey basically gave away Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and a 1st round pick for basically nothing :lol:

Dwight+Bosh inside with Harden and Parsons on the wing doe.. Somewhere Mark Cuban is smiling

He views them just as assets, treats them like players in fantasy basketball. Here's quote from the Lin sitaution for example:

I get the sensitivity and I hate that it creates some hurt feelings. I don't like that, but that's obviously Carmelo Anthony's number, that's the number he wants. He told us that. Bottomline, if Carmelo comes Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin have to be traded. It's just math.

He just comes off as obnoxious and cold to his current players. Apparently Lowry had some issues with Morey too I believe, probably a reason why he didn't come back.

The Rockets front office had it coming with the antics they pulled.

Effigy · Post #78 » by **Effigy** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 11:42 pm

So do they

a) run out and sign a second tier guy like Deng or Stephenson and resign Parsons,
B)try to acquire a guy like smith for their cap space and resign parsons
C) only resign parsons
D) let parsons go to Dallas, try again next year.

they feel like assets, I'm pretty sure Lowry had a quote about that too, I'd have to look for it.
