Morey prob doesn’t even hug his wife or kids like that lmao

[–]Akroma14 3781 points3782 points  (90 children)

Maybe he would if they had a point differential like Harden does

And stopped taking so many inefficient midrange jumpers.

[–][TOR] Antonio DavisTinysauce 554 points555 points  (86 children)

Only 60% of Daryl Jr's attempts to eat a piece of broccoli are successful because he places the broccoli on top of the fork instead of stabbing it with the fork. Hard to love your own kid when he's just that inefficient with his food.

[–]Slobbin 212 points213 points  (84 children)

Fuck it. It's r/NBA, but it was brought up, so whatever.

For those with kids that eat their vegetables:

How? How do you get them to eat them?

And if your kid "just eats them lol I'm lucky" I don't wanna hear that shit.

When i was a little kid my aunts tricked me into thinking frozen peas were some kind of treat, it worked for like a week. You could try that.

    I've got two of em one older and one very little, the older one ate them without questioning his whole life and the other would prefer waterboarding than eating vegetables, the only time he eats them without a fullblown meltdown is if everyone else is eating it and there are no other options for anything in sight.

    [–]inerlite 46 points47 points  (5 children)

    I toss a bag of mixed veg into Rice a Roni Broccoli Cheddar and cook it all together. Pretty good and it maskes the veggies.

    [–]ShindouRomm 28 points29 points  (4 children)

    He does love cheese maybe I'll give it a shot. We've tried a few different mixes but he'll suck them clean and leave the vegetables or just stop trying once he finds something.

    We've generally tried to avoid cooking different foods in general for the kids than what we eat typically but might have to resort to it eventually.

      I'm not a parent, but I've heard that a good way to get kids to eat veggies is by example. So like before giving them a plate with veggies on it, have your plate and eat some in front of them and make a point to talk about how good they are

      Dunno how well it works from personal experience, just secondhand. Hopefully it helps

      [–]Slobbin 12 points13 points  (2 children)

      That sounds like it's worth a try, we'll give that a shot, thanks.

        It comes down to texture in my experience, they only want certain veggies prepared in a certain way because of texture

        [–]HeatAllNinjas 22 points23 points  (0 children)

        Also keep trying difference veggies with spices involved. There's a lot of food in the world and the worst thing you can do for a child is forcing them down their throat that you know they don't like over and over without attempting to try something different just because you deem it necessary

        [–]BullsFletch71011 14 points15 points  (0 children)

        He needs to roast them. Roasted vegetables are all pretty good.

              Remember when Houston let go of Morey and he said he was gonna step away from GMing for a bit to spend time with his family...only to land a GM role in Philadelphia a month later lmao

              [–]gxor_bbq_football 138 points139 points  (0 children)

              TBF he did have a month off. That’s a lot of time to be stuck with your family.

              [–]TW_Yellow78 34 points35 points  (1 child)

              He thought he could trade for Harden then. But Fertita refused because he only let Morey out of his contract believing Morey really was going to retire (and save money by voiding the contract).

                            Question: are you and other Rockets fans rooting for the Sixers to succeed, or rooting against them for the way Harden went nuclear to get out of Houston?

                            [–][deleted] 736 points737 points  (63 children)

                            A minority doesn’t like him anymore, but most of us wanna see him winning a title. Now that he’s back with Morey i think even more will. His exit wasn’t professional at all, nobody denies that. However we knew why he wanted out, and Tilman was a big reason for it. We should’ve traded him in the offseason, it didn’t happen, so it became dramatic.

                            [–][HOU] Kevin Porter JrFew_Mulberry7175 332 points333 points  (19 children)

                            Tbh I feel Harden might get even more support from Rockets fans now cause he's not longer on the Nets

                            Obviously if the Nets crumble then the Harden trade picks are insanely valuable but they got a young star in Ben Simmons which hurts as he will be good in 2026/27

                            [–][BOS] Kevin GarnettPaleontologistFluid9 141 points142 points  (13 children)

                            tbh there's a chance that everyone wins here: the sixers are good right now and win a title with harden and embiid, the nets are trash in the short-term so the picks they sent to the rockets are valuable, and the nets reload around simmons and are good again in a couple years.

                            OK I guess everyone wins in this scenario except Kevin Durant.

                            [–][HOU] Kevin Porter JrFew_Mulberry7175 66 points67 points  (4 children)

                            Yea the Nets did well the only thing that really hurts is building that duo in your same division imo

                            [–]Supersonicsgartho009 21 points22 points  (2 children)

                            And Kevin Durant has already done his share of winning. Hard to feel too bad for the only one of them with two rings

                                It’s funny how most of the people who hold Harden’s exit from Houston against him aren’t Rockets fans.

                                Dude gave his all to the Rockets throughout his prime, and he only left because of terrible decisions made by new ownership. Similar situation with Brooklyn, he was fully invested playing at a super high level last year, and only wants out because of Kyrie’s antics making it clear that winning a championship isn’t his top priority

                                [–]Tampa Bay RaptorsMrGrieves- 32 points33 points  (1 child)

                                Yeah anyone who says otherwise isn't a real fan and can get fucked.

                                Harden was an iron man who regularly played 36+ minutes FOR YEARS. He gave it all to win in Houston.

                                  I really can't blame Harden. Tilman almost had me ready to jump ship from the Rockets. I'm doubtful we can ever win with him as the owner.

                                    He left in a shitty and unprofessional way, but he also killed himself for Houston for a decade. Good to see Houston fans are properly blaming Fertitta and supporting the guy who put more into their franchise than anyone except Hakeem and maybe Rudy. I can’t imagine what I’d do if Steph left us, but he’s our guy and we’d support him anyway.

                                          I’m mentally preparing myself for Harden and Morey to get another another shot and finally get over the hump against the Warriors in the NBA Finals. Expecting a multitude of emotions to flood over me. Rooting for them will probably win out.

                                          Harden is the fucking man lol and the fit with Embiid is just crazy good in theory. Health permitting it should fantastic and I'll probably start watching some Sixers games. Mostly because the current Rockets iteration is noncompetitive, and who knows how long that'll last with Fertitta.

                                          And for me personally I don't hold anything against Harden because I don't think any of his career decisions have been diva-like. When it became clear our new owner wasn't going to fund another championship push, the only way for anybody who wanted to win was out. Ditto with the Kyrie/injured KD circus. It all makes sense from a career perspective.

                                          But Embiid is basically the guy we always wished Harden could play with. James can score with any kind of guard play and he can also provide any kind of playmaking for an elite big. Couple that with the emotional value of basically the old core duo of Harden/Morey competing together again and I think Philly will pick up a lot of casual support from Houston.

                                            I’ll always love Harden. We knew our team sucked after the failed Russ experiment so I’m not mad he left or the way he did it. You gotta do what you gotta do. It clearly works since he’s done it twice, but that’s neither here nor there. My point is yes I’m rooting for the Sixers to win it all for him to at least get one ring.

                                            The former 100%. Also, not many Houston fans feel like Harden did anything wrong. We all knew what a piece of shit Tillman was even before he became the owner, so it was no surprise to see the coach, GM, and star player abandon ship at the same time.

                                            I rooted against harden after he left the first year… then got over it and only rooted against nets for our picks by the second year

                                            Now I’m really rooting for him on the sixers. Our boy deserves this… he’s been thru enough.

                                            Definitely more inclined to root for him now that he is off the Nets. Need to Nets to be shit for draft picks, plus fuck super teams.

                                                If I had a nickel for every time Harden and Morey were on the same team, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

                                                Rooting the for the sixers feels much less dirty than rooting for the nets. I just want my favourite player and gm to finally get it done. Idc what team anymore. Also Embiid is dope so thats a bonus

                                                  Always? They first teamed up at Houston. Now they are back together for the second time at Philly...that's two stints.

                                                    I really don't think people understand how determined Morey is to get a championship for Harden. Morey's said he feels like he failed Harden during their time in Houston, but I think Harden knows that no other GM could've done it better.

                                                    They really hit a wall in the west with Prime Durant/Curry/GSW. It was like watching Peyton Manning against Brady year in and year out.

                                                    Man I knew that was a bad move the second it happened but I tried to be optimistic as a fan of the team. Right when I was finally willing to give him a chance and think the team would at least be competitive……..Jacksonville happened.

                                                            Morey looks absolutely elated.

                                                            He also looks like an absolute unit. NBA players usually make mortals look like midgets.

                                                            He’d be even taller but his massive balls drag him down

Kevin Martin was a proven scorer who they thought could just plug right in to the 6th man slot. Jeremy Lamb was a pretty good college guard that they believed could develop. Fact is they chose size over shot creation because they thought you could replace the shot creation and shot making easier with Martin and Lamb. They were wrong.

Morey didn’t just believe in him being worth a max, but that he was a franchise number one option and there’s a big difference imo. He was also always gassing him up in the media, calling him the best offensive player ever and such, which GMs don’t publicly do
