Heliflopter Harden and Fright Coward are Grade A fakkits. On top of that Morey plays video games to evaluate free agents (I wish I was making that up). The team hasn't won a significant game since a Dream retired. Ain't no one buying the bullshyt they selling except Bill Cracker Ass Cracker Simmons.
:ohhh:

I want to know who told the rockets that Bosh was going to sign with them...

I also wonder why Parsons signed the deal when he knew what the Rockets were trying to do...I'd let his ass just go fukk him.
Cause they offered parson the most amount of money any team could offer him and he went from making under a million to pretty much 15 million a year

Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey doesn't play video games for fun or fantasy.

Morey uses the EA Sports NBA game for professional reasons. He uses it to help evaluate talent. Morey says he is a statistical junky, an admirer of Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane and a mathematical nerd. "I've always loved numbers," Morey said. "I don't play EA Sports as a game. I use it as a tool."

While the kids plug in NBA 08 to "ooh" and "aah" over how real it looks when Kobe Bryant dunks or LeBron James runs the court and finishes, Morey plugs in for more serious purposes.

"Say if you're thinking about acquiring Ron Artest," Morey said from Hawaii, where he was evaluating talent in person at the Maui Classic college tournament.

"On the game, you can see how adding Artest can change the dynamic of your team. You can program it to run offensive sets with Artest and any combination of your players."

Morey said that even this early in the season, there are enough statistics available to evaluate rookies such as Minnesota's Kevin Love (from UCLA) and Memphis' O.J. Mayo (from USC)

"For example, you can tell how often, if Love throws an outlet pass, how often his team scores on the possession," Morey said. "You can tell how often Mayo goes right versus left, how effective the team is with Mayo pulling up and shooting versus when he pulls up and passes instead."

Exactly, allowing the current team to offer more money and more years, makes it harder for some players to leave, especially when you are on your last big NBA contract. That is why owners wanted this advantage for their teams to give them an advantage in retaining their players. Without a cap with luxury tax penalties, max contracts and home team contract advantages the NBA would be like the MLB with certain teams/owners and cities dominating free agency.

:what: you serious?

I understand the Coli hates these 2 nikkaz with a passion but this is getting ridiculous
they lost the series due to horrible coaching & pg play

game 1 lost in OT by 2pts
game 2 lost by 7pts
game 4 lost in OT by 3pts
game 6 lost by 1pt

why nikkaz acting like POR smoked them... mchale playing lin & him turning the ball over n over n over down the stretch of these games was the reason they lost the series

This is why. their wives love attention. miami and new york give them plenty. they wont get that in houston. has nothing to do with basketball. its not a basketball decision. its a wife decision

This is a huge part of it. No way LaLa was going to live anywhere but LA, NY or MIA. LA and MIA cannot pay what NY could pay. I'm sure Bosh's wife was like:

:usure:"You better not turn down all that money for a chance at another title, 2 rings is good enough"
