When they were on the Rockets, Melo said Daryl Morey told him his services were no longer needed and the team plane left without him. CP3 said he got a plane for his wife and Melo because he “wasn’t gonna let them embarrass my dawg.”

Similar to the clippers without Chris Paul right now, the Rockets did start playing great basketball soon after Melo was off the team.
What notable player has said good things about Morey lmao
Should of never signed him.
This is a difficult washed player with awkward dismount group therapy session podcast. It’s nice they are supporting each other, but they didn’t have much to offer their teams at the end of their careers. The orgs didn’t do them favors, but they weren’t necessarily entitled to favors.
Turns out, Morey suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Melo was playing decent for us too. Had like 25+ in a close win for us a couple games before getting cut
Morey just seems to be a total dickhead and have an extremely shitty character, no wonder James Harden has no team loyalty because as a young kid in his early 20s his major influence is Daryl Morey.
Man I was like wtf he was playing good n then he got cut?! Bruhhhs fuck morey forever
“got on a plane *f*or his wife?” what does that mean?
Jesus Christ, Daryl
They did Melo wrong.
I really admired Morey and his analytics approach at the beginning. He really got it right bringing in Harden, Dantoni, CP3. But little by little he threw people and even his approach under the bus. Signing Westbrook was the antithesis to his “efficiency-only” signings. Its been downhill ever since perception wise
Damn that is a terrible way to treat a guy you were so determined to bring into the franchise.
Probably a rushed call from Morey to do it that night and not when they had go home to Houston, Melo stinking that last game up with a -22 +/- and shooting 1-11 probably did that. The timing was off, but the people saying this was ‘scapegoating’ or anything but the right decision is nonsense. He was a vet minimum player, he accepted that contract. He played with zero effort, I remember watching him run into screens on purpose because he didn’t want to chase around them. It was embarrassing.
We were -11.7 Net whenever Melo was on the floor and +6.4 with him off. Getting rid of him didnt solve everything, but it was an instant boost and the team started winning again. The mistake was signing him in the first place. Morey had an idea he would be an elite offball shooter getting more catch and shoot opportunities, but the stats over his career always showed him to be an underwhelming knock down shooter.
