He recognizes that Morey is on the bleeding edge of basketball GM-ery.
He's not an airhead like Jeanie.

That culture in Houston seems bad at bestowner out here for no good reason holding multiple interviews using divisive language between management and the players/coaches. He seems eager to rock the boat
These owners are something else
I'm guessing there is some sort of incentive (i.e. the rockets pay less) if D'antoni resigns amid not being offered the extension he wants or something.
That press conference was sloppy as hell and it was intentional.
No coach wants to work with 1 year remaining on his deal while the super stars on the roster are guaranteed in excess of 100M each or whatever the absurd number is.

Ballmer probably unrolled some bills from his straw pile and was like “Here, ****”

Lol at the excuses for the Rockets, no way they should have lost that series after KD went down.
They'd rather pay CP0 40 mil a year than Kemba?

Hornets have been linked to Gordon and Capela too
I'm sure their first priority is to keep Kemba, not sure if for the Supermax though

Hornets roster is poverty. Don't know what you'd want in return as far as talent goes

I mean they lost 1 game against the dubs without KD. I picked rockets regardless but the warriors were the favorites. I don’t see it as an excuse but more so what it is 
You wouldn’t put bread on Houston to defeat a healthy GSW and you wouldn’t put bread on Houston to beat a healthy GSW with ANY coach in the league so I don’t get why the rockets should have won that series

Why the hell would Charlotte have interest in Chris Paul lol other than him being from that area. Am I missing something

That's pretty much it and the Jordan angle. It's more so if Kemba leaves they can still have a nameWhy the hell would Charlotte have interest in Chris Paul lol other than him being from that area. Am I missing something
Would Houston want Batum, Bymobo, Williams etc. idk

From the Houston Chronicle:
Asked about why he and Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni have been such a successful partnership, Harden said, “Because he lets me do what I want.”
That would never fly with Pop, or Spo and a number of other coaches.
Coaches that would have also made the adjustments needed to win that GSW series...
I've also never heard someone be so confident about what OTHER people would be willing to bet on, as if what he is saying is gospel.
FOH.

Can Houston pull off the S&T? Charlotte would likely send bad contracts with Kemba to get below the tax.

Harden is gonna leave the league the same way as Melo if he don't change that frame of thought.

Bruh they were the biggest underdogs since this dynasty got going in Game 6. ALL we heard about last year was only if CP0 was healthy, Houston would have won, so they get a healthy CP0, KD gets injured in a tie game, blow that game. Steph maybe has the worst half of his career in the 1st half of game 6 yet they couldn't pull away then either and they blow that game at home. It was an even series WITH KD, yet somehow they shouldn't have been favored to win the moment he got injured. C'mon man.

Chris Paul clearly lost a step, though. Not the same guy from last year. He couldn't explode past Kevon Looney off switches.

The excuses don't stop. Somebody said the Warriors are a all time great unstoppable team w/o KD.
The warriors have to lose KD and Steph for Harden to have a fair shot.

Wasn't the rockets defense better this year than last year? After they got rid of melo, was it the best in the NBA? Was that because of harden or all the guys you are downplaying to make it seem like the warriors are unbeatable? Austin, house and faried>>>ariza and luc. MDA is gonna run a 7 man rotation regardless so does it even matter what kinda depth you have? That's been his MO from jump. And a bunch of people try to act like Gerald green lost that game in 30 seconds so why did MDA even put him in? Same thing with Ryan Anderson the year before. Whenever Kerr does something like that he gets killed for it but MDA gets a pass for some reason.
McHale took the rockets from 34 to 45 to 54 to 56 wins and the conference finals and they got that far because he benched harden in a crucial game. But you're making it seem like harden is the only reason for anything. And nobody would hesitate to call mchale a bad coach. MDA had 55 65 and 53 wins and one conference finals. So how much better is he really?
Same thing with capela. Nobody would hesitate to say how poor he was. But when harden shrinks every year, there's always some reason besides that why the rockets couldn't get it done.
And you said there's no way to beat the warriors starting 5. Shoe said you wouldn't bet against a healthy gsw. Yall keep tryna act like KD wasn't even injured
Excuses
