ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith issued praise for Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey upon news of his pending exit from the franchise.
Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey became an up-and-coming star during his days with the Boston Celtics, which first put him on the radar of then Rockets owner Les Alexander. Alexander hired Morey to be the assistant general manager on Carroll Dawson’s staff, but it didn’t take long for Morey to get promoted, as he became the Rockets GM after one year under Dawson.
