Throughout Daryl Morey’s tenure as general manager of the Houston Rockets, he’s abided by a clear, simple game plan: collect talent, and figure out the rest.
The Rockets have plenty of figuring out to do.
There’s little doubt the trade Morey pulled off Wednesday – moving guards Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams, forwards Sam Dekker and Montrezl Harrell, a protected 2018 first-round pick and some still-being-collected non-guaranteed salaries, to the Los Angeles Clippers for superstar point guard Chris Paul as sources confirmed to The Washington Post – is a coup for Morey and the Rockets.
