Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has agreed to a five-year contract extension, reports the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen.
Morey was in the final year of his contract in his second season under Tilman Fetitta as owner. According to Feigen, talks began before the Rockets recent surge and said it likely began around July 1, 2018. The Rockets are 42–25 with 15 games left.
"I'm super happy," Morey said. "I'd love to be with the Rockets for life. This obviously solidifies us for a little while. I'm just really thankful to Fertitta for having the faith in our team.
