THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[JD617]

“I have the best general manager in the league,” Fertitta told ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “Everything is fine with Daryl and me. We got a huge backlash, and I wanted to make clear that [the organization] has no [political] position. We’re here to play basketball and not to offend anybody.” Hear that, Rockets? Get back to your uncontroversial brand of basketball. Shoo!

Fertitta did not say whether he speaks for the Houston Rockets when he calls the Bushes the most “extraordinary political family” in American history, says Donald Trump is doing “a great job,” harps about having to give his employees healthcare, harps again about the minimum wage, says socialism “scares the hell” out of him, swings by CNBC to burble on about businesses being over-regulated and hosts luncheons to keep the Senate’s Republican majority.

Daryl Morey Tweets Support For Hong Kong Protestors; Rockets Owner Tells Everyone To Ignore Him

Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted an image that read “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong” on Friday night, but deleted it after the team’s owner, billionaire Tilman Fertitta, publicly clarified that Morey was “NOT” speaking for the Rockets and that the organization was “NOT” political.

"we have a great respect for their history and culture" as they're actively oppressing in the worst way possible.

NBA's response is looking funny in the light. Progressive frauds tbh. Once it comes to money, they're no different than the NFL.

Ya'll underestimating the power of money.

Twitter is really the best and worst thing to happen to anyone with a voice.

the Chinese market because of how large it is. You dont want to piss off 1.4 billion people

DeMar disagrees....




We'd be communicating via pigeons right now if Trump was in office then.

 

[Thierry Henry]

don't know if this was posted in here in the past few days...

Do people really think the NBA should come out here and take an official position that China is a terrible, authoritarian regime? It’s not a political organization. They didn’t disagree with what Morey said and, IMO, gave a message that he shouldn’t be fired.

Celtics actually have a chance to be decent if tacko is in the rotation. He changes the game everytime he's on the floor. Luckily ainge rostered 4 centers ahead of him

It's gonna be pretty annoying to watch Porzingis and Luka be great for the next decade.

 

[ballinsam23]

We got back and forth about the KP trade in the Knick thread every 3 weeks.

So far we're losing that trade big time.

It's gonna be pretty annoying to watch Porzingis and Luka be great for the next decade.

Until there's a minor inconvenience & Porzingis asks out

How American of Ted Cruz., always worried about what other countries do.

hopefully, he is spending the same amount of time and energy worrying about problems we have in America, probably not though.

 

[akajae]

Free Morey.

Contract the rockets.
