Even if you don't like the move you have to give Morey his props, he got real creative and did a hell of a job to make everything work.

seriously. everyone shytting on teams for not making moves or making bad ones but Morey added one of the best PGs in the league who still had an all-nba year last season and ppl hating. the rockets didn't give up much value in the trade too. Beverly is great but CP3 is a huge upgrade over him and losing lou doesn't matter change anything.

Yeah he gave up his only good perimeter defender, a guy he gave up a 1st round pick for, a guy he picked in the 1st round who played pretty well for them, and a first round pick, for a guy who is going to either be a one year rental or is going to tell them "give me a contract that pays me 40 million dollars at age 37." Obviously Morey is a genius...

Bonus points for FINALLY finding an offensive system that Harden can thrive in AND you can win a lot of games in and after 1 year in which he was an MVP candidate...you go and change it by bringing in another ball dominant guard...

Again, obviously Morey is a genius...

Like I said, it doesn't matter if you like the move or not. Morey did an insane job to make this deal able to work.
