Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey made splash moves in consecutive seasons between 2012-2014, as the Rockets reeled in both James Harden and Dwight Howard, giving them a Hall of Fame duo. These moves were equally impressive considering how the Rockets lacked a star player during the 2011-12 season, which was just one season before they landed Harden.
It was also miraculous how they were able to land Harden, because they didn’t have an equal player to give up in the deal, nor did the have the necessary assets to compile a fair package to send to Oklahoma City.
