ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan shared details of a recent conversation she had with former Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey, which made news of his departure surprising for her.

After 14 years with the Houston Rockets, longtime general manager Daryl Morey decided to call it quits on Thursday, in a move that seemed to be an abrupt one. Morey had been helping the Rockets replace Mike D’Antoni, who also decided against remaining with the franchise.

Morey was instrumental in the current construction of the Rockets’ roster, as he built the team to his liking.
