The Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey had a fan chat where he answered questions about everything. Below is a sample of the varity of things Morey was asked.
finally, what do you feel has been your best decision as Rockets GM?
Best decision as GM was likely Rafer Alston for Kyle Lowry as it was a hard one to pull off — we traded our starter in the middle of a playoff race for a Kyle who was barely playing. I think Kyle will do amazing in Toronto.
This is something I agree with, I am a fan of Alston but that one trade taught me not to ever question D, Morey’s moves as a GM. Kyle Lowry turned out to be a great player for the Rockets and has a chance to be one of the top PG’s in the NBA now.
I am 6ft 10 and only slightly uncoordinated with low mileage on my knees. what is your best offer?
Can I just buy your knees?
How angry does it make you when big market teams (like the Lakers) constantly have A+ talent falling into their laps with seemingly little effort on their part? What needs to happen for Houston to become a desirable destination for big names?
Does not make me angry. just part of the landscape of competition.
Can you dunk?
This is embarrassing to admit but I am 6’4″ and unlike reddit fave Woody Harrelson, I cannot dunk. In my youth I could get a tennis ball through.
When Dikembe Mutumbo would speak to you, would you sometimes just nod and say yes?
Yes. And then I would ask him to follow up with a txt of what he wants on one of the 4 cell phones he always carried.
