The Houston Rockets reportedly weren’t convinced about former general manager Daryl Morey’s reason for departing with the franchise.
Longtime Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey surprised many when he abruptly decided to leave the franchise, as Morey was the face behind the Rockets’ playing style. Morey coined “Moreyball”, which was an ode to Bill James in the baseball sector, who introduced analytics to the sports world.
Morey won the Rockets’ fanbase over when he pulled off the trade of the century with the Oklahoma City Thunder, in a deal that sent James Harden from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Houston Rockets, which centered around former Rockets sharpshooter Kevin Martin.
