The annual #TheMoreyTeam get together.

[SubZeroDegrees]

He became a name chaser just like every other GM. He trotted out that analytics shyt to throw people off the scent that he couldn't sign the big names. The second he had a chance to bring in names he threw all that out the window with the quickness. Players like Dwight, Josh Smith, and Beasley are the exact opposite of what Morey's "genius" is supposed to be about. He completely ignored how pieces fit together or how personalities would work. Completely ignored building a winning culture thinking that big names would be enough.

Exactly, he's a fraud and that's why we clown his mediocre ass. Terrible GM.

*waits for someone to re-upped @Walt article*

fukk Morey. I'm all in on the fire Morey bandwagon. I fukked with him because he got shyt done, but he can't get shyt right. He's a fukktard.

So is this supposed to be an anti-analytics thread? You morons do realize the Warriors also employ analytics as well right?

Ah well, doesn't matter. It appears many of you have a personal beef with Morey and will talk shyt like bytches regardless. Have fun bytching to one another why you don't like another grown man. If he aint ya daddy, why do you give so many fukks on what moves he makes?

Fatherless generation...

 

[KOBE]

How do you join this group? I've been laughing at this guy being labelled at a genius before accomplishing anything for years.

 

[Regular_P]

I'd like to apply for membership too.

Lol @ making McHale the sacrificial lamb and hiring an interim coach who parties with the players.

Force your team to shoot nothing but layups and threes without having any elite three point shooters on the roster, brehs.

Give Osh Smith license to fire at will, brehs.

Bring in players from China to make a playoff push, brehs.

 

[Lootpack]

I hope they keep Morey, I'm enjoying this trainwreck.

Your post summed up in a nutshell

Not only do they also employ analytics, but they're the main poster child for it.

This isn't an anti-analytic thread though, this is a Morey celebration

I know, just wanted to get ahead of the narrative, which was coming.

Same dude that use NBA Live as a tool to make GM decision.

 

[duckbutta]

Can somebody send me membership papers

@Malta the slow descent of Howard going from an actual ugly but effective offensive threat for them to a guy who was just completely ignored by the likes of players like Trevor Ariza and Corey Brewer is something the basketball community would like for you to do a thesis on

I didn't want to believe you, I had to Google this

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."

"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."
