    Laurel (Leibel) D’Antoni remembers the fall day in 1984 that changed her life as if it were yesterday. A successful model on her first trip to Europe, she was standing on a Milan street corner when she bumped into a girlfriend and her Italian League basketball player/boyfriend, Wally Walker.

    “I was standing in front of the Benetton store waiting for the No. 54 bus. Just before it came, I spotted Mary and Wally walking down the street,” she said. “We talked and they invited me out for pizza. They said they would bring some friends.”

    Walker, now the general manager of the Seattle Super-Sonics, invited Mike D’Antoni and Russ Schoene, two of his teammates from the Milan team.

    “To be honest, we thought Russ and Laurel might hit it off because they were about the same age,” Walker said. “Mike was older and was dating at the time. But he likes pizza.”

    Walker admits his matchmaking skills were poor, although Walker said D’Antoni had a distinct advantage over Schoene. “Mike drove both Russ and Laurel home that night. Laurel’s hotel was about five minutes from Mike’s place, but he drove about 30 minutes out of his way to take Russ home first.

    “That gives you an idea of what kind of competitor we’re talking about here.”

    Yeah, I think a lot of people here noticed the shift. Many moves in the past 2 seasons or so did not look Morey-like. It is tempting to put this on ownership. The timing matches.

    Sloan Conference is in Boston, too. Should we quarantine Morey now?

    Bruh, that McHale extension was all Morey you better believe those clown moves are his too.

    It's sad to see people here think so highly of Morey like if he was Elon Musk or Nikolas Tesla.
    " I wonder what algorithms he has for life" head ass. Gtfo.

    He's the Patrick Beverley of GM's, all talk and no bark.
