Owner publicly calling out the GM via Twitter dot com now. Morey's tweet has since been deleted.

Morey probably did it for a reason because everyone knows the Rockets are huge in China due to Yao Ming.

One doesn’t torch a huge overseas market just for shits and giggles.

Has Lebrun commented on this yet?

Tillman is going to be forced to sell the team over this

The controversy comes from the fact that Morey’s tweet blew up in China. He was getting ratio’d like a mf from Chinese people. The Rockets have a ton of Chinese fans.

It’s not good business to piss of a large portion of your fan base.

I agree with Morey’s stance, but totally understand where Tilman is coming from since he’s the one who put up the money for the team and he’s the one that has the risk.

Although I think it would have been much better if Tilman called Morey and told him to take it down instead of publicly calling him out on Twitter. That’s what caused it to blow up.

If he called him and told him to take it down, this would have just went away quietly and it wouldn’t have even been a story.

I agree with Morey’s sentiment, but disagree with him posting it, and I agree with Tilman’s stance on Morey’s tweet but disagree with how he handled it.

This is a big yikes. Houston is apparently against human rights.

If you are a rockets’ fan this is what you support. Sad.

I thought people that owned NBA teams were called Governors. Get it right.

you said he should have called him. He most likely did and informed him he was going to reply to the tweet THEN he could delete.

Never understood how Twitter posts and changing Facebook profile pics helps anyone but atleast they get to feel good I guess
