It didn't work out for him, but he's swinging for the fences. He's made moves that can be criticized, no doubt. But I like that he's willing to take the big risk to hit it big.

On the flip side, Presti is more measured. Different strokes....
Right but they had the option to pick up Parsons last year at 900k then trade him if they needed too. At least thats my understanding. I think it was a mistake to not get assets in return. I understand a GM like Morey is exciting for fans, but he has changed the roster so drastically they are like a new team every year.

Another thing about going after Rondo. I see he and Dwight clashing bigtime after a few months. I just think Morey is flashy and doesn't put a lot of thought into how the roster is constructed.
