Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Pretty straight forward discussion. In an alternative universe, where GM's don't win just based on biggest turnaround or most team wins, does Rob win or atleast in contention for Exec of the year? I'd think he and Morey would be going head to head this year. To think of all he's accomplished though, as a FIRST year GM, who had to make HUGE decisions on the fly, and clean up the mess Otis left? Let us discuss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro Pedrosa 1,032 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 I just posted something similar in the "Most Impressive..." thread The way he dealt Dwight and Redick was genius. I also wouldn't be surprised if he planted drugs on Hedo's drink to keep him away from the team HENNY FOR PRESIDENT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA_TBDP 12 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 If he convinces Hedo and/or Al to retire this off-season, I'll be convinced he has mystical powers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnettej 263 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 If we were in playoff position then absolutely... I think the initial moves turned out to be genius, considering everything that has taken place so far. It was unfortunate that we had some injuries because im sure that played a factor in our later moves, which also have been genius. For Rob's first two major moves (offseason and Trade deadline) we secure some great positional players, that has already made history ( first two players to score 30pts, 15+reb and 5+ast) Harris and Nikola. Thats not even including the multiple draft picks that we now own for the future, weather that is for a draft game changer or a All Star FA. Honestly no one could of predicted these type of results with what we had to work with... a stuck up Diva and alot of bad contracts. Now we have a solid young core with a couple of needs to fill before we can think about making a playoff run. Rob has made the moves that shed about 2yrs of rebuilding off the books.

Drain-O 369 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 I do not know if he would beat out Morey who basically fleeced a Top 10 NBA player for basically nothing. However the nucleus he has been able to build has been tremendous so far. Now it is up to him to surround those guys with other pieces. I am looking forward to the next couple of rebuilding years to see where the franchise goes. At least for now we have good direction and scouting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhnole 153 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 He has done an amazing job cleaning up the mess Otis left for him but I still want another year to see how this draft goes and if the talent he brought in can start putting up some wins instead of looking good in close losses. That being said you can probably pre stencil his name on the Exec of the Year for the 2014-15 season when all these moves should really pay dividends.

Most of the decisions are unfortunately based on win totals. However, should we have a quick turnaround this year or 2 years from now, he will easily be in high contention for the award, especially in light of the Lakers no doubtedly beginning to plummet from the rankings with Kobe's retirement and no one else wanting to play with Dwight.

Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 I can't see them giving it to a guy whose team is 20-59. He's done a great job so far, but the media won't show him the love. Maybe if we end up having a productive season next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Henny has done a fantastic job. I believe the award goes to Morey but I'm excited about our future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drain-O 369 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 I guess some of you missed the part where I addressed the alt universe/wins don't matter part. Even in that alt universe where the Rockets miss the playoffs. Morey basically traded picks and fodder for James Harden who you could argue is the best shooting guard in the NBA this year. Henny has done a tremendous job acquiring talent but Morey has gotten more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Yep. Boils down to numbers and with only 20 wins, no way he's even considered for the award. That being said, I definitely see one in the near future for Mr.Henny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
