Gasol announced on his twitter account he's going to the Bulls.
What should LA be upset about unless they realistically thought they'd get Melo or LBJ?

I've been saying this as well.
Just wasting time until 2016 FA class, shoulda blown it up and tanked the next 2 years.

It's OVER 5,000!
Jordan Hill for 9 mil a year?
They didn't improve at all. They will be terrible again. That's gotta suck for their fans.

Rockets have to be most butthurt, no? Dumped Lin and Asik, thought they were getting Bosh before he went back to heat, no love from Melo, ended up with Trevor Ariza.
LOL at Morey being a great GM. Guy has got egg on his face now. Enjoy another first round exit.

How exactly is any of that his fault though? He did what he could to put himself in a good spot and the players chose to go elsewhere. Bosh took the extra $30 mil, can't control that. Melo also followed the money. Not much he can do.
Thats what happens when you just go after the sexy move instead of building the best team. In this new twitter age everyone thinks you suck if you can't make the big move. Morey was the epitome of that by getting Harden/Howard and then getting praised as the best GM in the sport by the internet.
I'll take my guy and adding one of the top 5 three point shooters in the nba for half of what Jodie Meeks got.

Bosh would have made them really good though. I don't blame him for trying. He put a really good foot forward. Ariza is still a solid player, too.
Morrow top 5? He took 195 3's last year and played 18 minutes a game. A lot of guys with similar percentages took a lot more than he did.

I would take the Cavs, personally.
He has been 43% for his career. Morrow is a lights out shooter. Kevin Martin who is a good shooter in his own right had his best shooting year with the Thunder. I can't wait to see what Morrow is going to do shooting open corner threes all day.

You're not wrong but Morey always goes for the big move.
Traded Dragic/Lowry, traded Lin, Asik, lost Parsons for nothing whose a very good player.
Whiffed on LBJ, Bosh, Lowry, Melo this offseason while only getting Ariza who over-achieved last year.
I guess you can say ^^ thats not his fault but it was a pretty awful offseason for Houston.
Morey is a good GM but way overrated by the media who treat him like a god.

Cavs are too young.
Bulls are a legit, 10-deep, Bulls/Cavs are 1-2 in any order you want assuming the Cavs add a few more vets.
But.
Rose, Hinrich.
Butler, Snell.
Dunleavy, McBuckets.
Gasol, Gibson.
Noah, Mirotic.
is a LEGIT 10-man rotation with lots of lineups Thibs can play with.
Without lucking into Durant,they would be nothing.
Yeah, a team of Westbrook/Harden/Ibaka is nothing.
So what if KD didn't exist and Presti drafts Horford. How about Noah who the Thunder really liked. How about Conly. There was plenty of talent in that draft. It just so happens KD is going to be an all time great but this idea that Presti is only produced a winning team because of KD is stupid.
What are you going to say when Adams is a top 10 center? HOw about when McGary is a better version of collison?
