Yes, I’m talking about Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. Considering one of the most aggressive GMs in the business as a whole, he just received himself a new deal with the franchise.
This news comes as not much of a surprise as Morey has built a sterling reputation as a respected GM in the NBA. His out-of-the-box thinking — sprinkled with a heavy dose of analytics — has ensured that the Houston Rockets field a competitive team each an every year. Morey, who has been with the team since 2006-07 season as assistant GM to the legendary Carroll Dawson, fully transitioned to his role to take over in 2007-08.
