Tillman tweeted “Listen... @dmorey does NOT speak for the @HoustonRockets. Our presence in Tokyo is all about the promotion of the @NBA internationally and we are NOT a political organization."
There were then talks about terminating Morey
The NBA made a statement on its Chinese platform stating it was “extremely disappointed” in morey’s “inappropriate tweet”
The asain owner of the nets sent out an open letter to fans basically denouncing Morey and the support of Hong Kong protesters
In conclusion, your assertion that the commissioner of the nba and the owner of the rockets defended Morey seems completely contradictory to what happened. I unfortunately must deem you a fucking retard and ask you kindly keep your subsequent retarded thoughts to yourself :)
Fertitta told ESPN's Tim MacMahon that he felt compelled to publicly clarify that the Rockets do not take political positions due to the reaction to Morey's tweet, but Fertitta stressed that he has no issues with Morey.
"I have the best general manager in the league," Fertitta said. "Everything is fine with Daryl and me. We got a huge backlash, and I wanted to make clear that [the organization] has no [political] position. We're here to play basketball and not to offend anybody."
