Adam Silver rejected China's demand to fire Daryl Morey
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
Morey is getting fired at the end of the season unless the Rockets win the Finals. Book it.
Performance will be used as the reason but we will all know.

Can't believe LeBron tried to tell Silver that if a player tweeted this they'd be fined, like talk about delusional
That I do see to be the likely scenario anyway. Both him and D'antoni are likely gone next off-season if they don't make it out of the playoffs.
Hrmm... for me, when there's such a dearth of people doing the right thing, it's fair to give some praise to those that do.
I respect the hell out of the man for taking that position. Feels like no one else is business wise.
Silver has something to lose here. It's not like you or I speaking out against China. When someone who has something to lose speaks out then it does deserve some praise.
When men, organizations, and countries bow to China, seeing a person that is putting his job on the line by standing up for someone's rights is worth praising.
Lebron can't actually do that, as big as he is. There's also no evidence he demanded Morey be fired either. People can assume it fine, but there's no actual record of such a thing.
It was mostly a joke but I could easily see the NBA owners firing Silver if they share Lebron's thinking of money over human rights. And they are all rich af, so they just might.
Wouldn't be immediate because they know the PR backlash would be huge but if business dips at all then I could see it happening with that as an excuse.
Correct, although he could do what many suspect the NFL has done with Kaepernick and put pressure on the Rockets to get rid of him and then pressure on the rest of the league to not touch him. So, it wouldn't technically be him firing him but it would have the same effect.
He doesn't have the power to fire Morey but the NBA functions much like a cartel where its individual members have autonomy but ultimately the collective can put pressure and decide the outcome.
Why not? I'm sure they could find someone to replace him...
that was a normal tweet, find a new slant
Remember when people told me they can't take me seriously because I called him LeBitch James?
Turns out he's an even bigger bitch.
But he's China's bitch.
Man Silver is awesome. China can fuck off, doing business there isn't even worth the headache with that piece of shit government in charge of literally everything.
No, his job is to make the owners money. He's actively risking his job and the NBA's money by supporting Morey. To claim that he's doing his job by doing this is in itself absurd.
The NBA is losing money either way. Support China it hurts your western buisness, Support Democracy it hurts Chinese buisness.
Silver did the math and chose USD over Yen. He was never putting himself at risk

I love this. It's perfect.
