No one knew if it would work, but one else but Daryl Morey had the brains and the balls to pull off this offseason. With the Rockets’ season officially over, one thing is crystal clear: Morey knew exactly what he was doing.
Montrezl Harrell had a nice season on the Clippers, and Patrick Beverley I’m sure would have, if he were healthy. Who knows what will become of Sam Dekker’s NBA future. The Rockets won the Chris Paul trade so thoroughly, and Morey’s execution was so masterful, that many are envisioning him pulling off something similar for LeBron James this summer, while somehow still keeping Paul on the books.
