Did he or Did he not disrepect Cleveland? It's a yes or no question.Quote:

Contrary to your belief that the bottom line for most is $$$, some of these players wanted the experience to be treated with respect that's why living conditions, quality of personnel etc are always taken into considerations.
Players don't come for the GM. They come to play with the stars of the teams. Guys will play at a discount if it is a championship caliber team. Who else has made a big deal out of Morey "disrespecting them"? Kevin Martin? :lolQuote:

GM oversees a lot of things in your franchise. No one said players comes for a GM, but he's the voice of your team and a reflection of your business dealing. Role players would sure come to Houston but it will come with a higher price tag considering Morey is now known as a guy who treats his players like used condoms :lolQuote:

That's precisely my point:lol The chances of attracting ring chasing players coming to play for cheap are slim. You'd have to grossly overpay average rotation players like Lin a huge amount of money to play for your team:lol
Because Lin's number was used as part of a recruitment pitch when he was likely leaving anyway? Give me a break.Quote:

One has the ability to attract useful players at a discounted rate while the other has no ability to get the same type of pieces unless overpaying for it.
:lmao Those useful players must be the reason Miami got their shit pushed in against SA.Quote:
