    Um , from what Morey said , he was working on this deal before Tilman had any idea about it.

    If he was workin on it before talking to Tilman - why would Tilman have to … force it on him ?


    Its in the interview in this thread - http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...ayer-empowerment-more-with-rich-eisen.300704/

    um. morey has also gone on record saying he never thought wb would be available. so how exactly was he "working on it". they say whatever they need to. he can attempt to save face or whatever gimmicks after the fact. what's done is done. doesn't matter.

    CyberFraud is now > Morey in terms of a source ?

    Morey stated he was working on this long before Tilman knew …. How the hell does that equate to Tilman forcing it on Morey ?


    Go listen to that interview in the link , it'll clear this up.

    i mean hes pretty proven to have atleast some kind of connection. it doesn't dispel anything morey has said. if anything morey contradicts himself when hes already admitted he never thought wb would become available. if you know someone isn't available then what exactly are you working on. that makes no sense. wb didn't become an option until pg13 actually left him

    let me work on this westbrook trade even though hes not available. in the meantime all the smoke about jimmy butler, yeah thats nothing. lets just brush that to the side. oh wait he was the one they wanted. they just got rejected in the end

    He hasn't proven anything if you ask me and the statement of his above you quoted is completely contradicted by Morey's statements.

    He's never been "right" about anything that actually happened. Rockets have interest in X - Water is freakin wet. who couldn't predict that ?

    That dude throws turds at the wall to see what sticks.

    This is why I cant stand these fake ass insiders … cryptic writings and all that garbage , it really skews the narrative and distorts the truth on this forum.

    well to you obviously bc your view doesn't agree with him so of course you would think that way. someone who throws turds is someone like holic. i dont consider cyber in that category. not even close

    Listen I want to believe Morey is a straight shooter as much as anybody but the fact is, sometimes he's not always 100% face value with the media for better or for worse.

    so people are going to ignore what he said about cp3 and not going anywhere o_O

    it is what it is. he says whatever he has to. and so does every other person in his position. people will choose to take it literally or spin it. your choice

    Yeah , Morey contradicts Cyber and Morey's …. not a straight shooter.

    That's hilarious.

    Morey's always been one of the most straight forward GM's in the league - A tell it how it is guy.

    Now put that in context - That was stated prior to Westbrook being available.

    Things change. Westbrook being available was unforeseen at the time of that statement.

    That's right.

    But what you cant do is go back to a point where Tilman told Morey to get WB …. When he was already negotiating just that.

    sure you can. your view of morey working on this long before tilman just doesnt make any sense. long before does not qualify as oh pg13 is leaving wb, now lets move in. he wasn't. cp3 was considered safe from being moved

    how in the world is he negotiating for someone that isn't even available. you know what he was prepping for? someone name jimmy butler not wb.

    CP3 was considered safe up to the point that WB became available - After that , he was at risk of being moved.

    Morey clearly stated that once WB became available , he was working on a solution to bring him here - Before Tilman knew about him doing so.

    PG13 leaving was the catalyst to making OKC consider moving WB , Once PG13 was moved , WB and OKC management discussed parting ways and that's when Morey started dialog with Presti. Before Tilman knew anything about it which kills any narrative that Tilman forced the deal on Morey.
    .
    Its all right there in the interview clearly stated by Morey.

    and in conclusion "long before" or "already" does not apply here. tilman very much was part of the process to push this move. which would only make sense when this type of player is literally everything anti morey and his analytics

    like i said you can spin it however you like. you obviously have your view you want to stick with.

    Did you listen to the interview at all or are you just waiting for the next cyberbomb to materialize into something actually happening ?

    ive heard that interview plenty of times. and ive already addressed it previously. hes going to say whatever he needs to. you can take it literally or spin it. your choice. you obviously made yours

    you really expect him to be like oh tilman pushed me to do this to the public? come on now. think a little again. he doesn't throw guys under the bus. all the mistakes of last summer, he put it all on himself and we all know he wasn't the only one involved in them
