Eh.. he had no problem being intentionally bad for several years with the promise of being very good after that

But if they really are going to discourage tanking then his business model no longer works

Was called for federal jury duty with him years ago. He spent most of the time hiding in another room and working, I suppose (he had just won exec of the year). His lucky arse was not selected.

Jared McCain balling out was the last straw.

Sometimes one player can make the GM successful. Then when the player leaves the GM is exposed.

Dang you were the biggest Morey disciple of all.

You live long enough to see yourself become the villain I suppose.

The NBA was always going to blackball him after what he said about China

The guy is a pioneer in statistics

Eh, if they had been winning I don't think he'd be gone. He definitely lost his luster. Also started sounding highly arrogant. The Jared McCain situation looks AWFUL right now.

Wasn't that on the owners for not wanting to push into the tax?

He’s not overrated. He changed the way every team in the NBA plays basketball. Most people credit Steph Curry with the increase in the 3 point shot. But in reality it was Daryl Morey who every team tried to copy with increasing the volume of 3s.

Increased 3s, more free throws, shooting less midrange, positionless basketball, small ball lineups, etc were all taken from Morey. Whether you like that style or not, his impact on the game has been immense.

It’s hard to win in the NBA even when you are on the cutting edge.

Seems like every player he’s been involved with hates him.
