Morey should concentrate on doing his job better instead of responding to a blowhard like Cuban cause he just finished having a pretty ty summer, tbh.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/rockets...082844311.htmlFor months, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has unleashed a barrage of slights and snipes onto the Houston Rockets, framing the regime of general manager Daryl Morey in the most unflattering of ways. It has been an undermining, calculated campaign. Just understand this, though: No longer does it go unanswered.
Morey has played a part in feeding the frenzy, too. "I think [Cuban's] pissed that we went after Dirk [Nowitzki] in free agency, however unsuccessful it was," Morey told Yahoo Sports. Yes, Morey respects the tactical purposes behind Cuban's crusade, but rejects his reasoning as flawed – even downright untrue.
"We've been pretty good, and I think he's doing a smart thing to take on a rival," Morey told Yahoo Sports late Sunday. "He should want to beat up on San Antonio, too, but it's hard to paint the Spurs that way. So he's directed his bully pulpit onto us. Our owner stays above the fray, so I'm outgunned honestly.
In Cuban's most recent baiting of the Rockets, he proclaimed that Morey had little regard for player chemistry, relying largely on the merits of math. Morey seethed over the premise and fired back to Yahoo Sports: "I completely reject it."
"Our teams have had great chemistry, and it's something we believe in. Hey, if Mark believed so much in chemistry, he wouldn't have busted up a le team for cap room. He's trying to reunite a lot of those people now, bringing back the center [Tyson Chandler] from that le team. Maybe he's got some chemistry religion recently
"He's tripled his analytics staff. If he's equating analytics with not caring about chemistry, well, he's tripling down on it. I think he's smart to paint a compe or in a negative light, but none of those statements are lining up. He says that we're the team that you sign with and then we will trade you, when that's what he said he would've done with Dwight.

His problem.is not firing McHale. Not players.
I love it. Bring some heat to the Texas rivalry.
Cuban 1
Morey 0
Morey is a salty, overrated got who shouldn't be talking....
Pretty bush league to me. Meanwhile the Spurs are just going out there and winning.
all class
lol rockets
DJ is right on this one ... but still think the team is not a le contender as constructed.
On a positive note, Harden played really well in FIBA ... even tried hard on defense. if Rox get that version I doubt they legit contenders but it's a step in that right direction. they still have two of the best players at their position in the NBA.
Though I love to clown him, Morey got Dwight (over Lakers AND Mavs) and wasnt that part of the reason cubes broke up the le team? He also fleeced OKC for Harden. i think he does some dumb but he did acquire good young assets like Parsons. Should have traded him prior to him walking ...
but yes he is salty and butthurt ...
lol @ bitter mavfan
He didn't trade four draft picks for the Black McHale so that counts.
Playoff Series Wins Since 2007:
"Black McHale": 12
Morey: 1
Also, we traded 1 pick, I think you're mixing it up with the Lakers' Nash trade
Cuban was pretty salty himself about Dwight. Also, besides getting Dwight and Harden, he has made more good deals/draft picks then bad ones.
Landry
Brooks
Rafer Alston for Kyle Lowry
Bobby Jackson for Ron Artest
Brooks for Dragic
Spanoulis or however you spell it for Scola
Terrence Jones
Parsons
Ariza on his new deal
The only way Dwight's agent would let him sign in Houston (he did not want him to sign there) was to let Parsons out of his deal early. Parsons' has the same agent as Dwight.

We are both getting it mixed up this morning. I am sure you meant to put Tom Thibadeaux series wins. We know Doc couldn't do with a prime McGrady or a Prime Paul Pierce. Tom, you da real MVP. Can't hate on Doc too much, he has made it one round further than McHale without Tom in the West.
Thibs with Doc: 1
Thibs without Doc: 0
Doc lost with McGrady and.... Pat Garrity? Thibs choked with McGrady AND Yao.
Let us proceed....
Are you serious CN?
BTW Tom Rivers.
^My yellow fart catcher.
And that Mike Miller. Are you saying Paul and Griffin are better than Prime McGrady?
Also, you made my point for me. Doc without Thibs = 0.
Hey, when the Bulls don't win and Thibs gets fired, maybe he can go back to riding Doc's coattails
Not sure so many people keep pretending like a team led by dead kidd , tosb terry and retired peja was going to be a legit contender ever again. It was a teeam created on the deadline and lasted two months, not a 5 year team...
