Your source is based on 1 sample size lol. According to google NBA GM salary is 1-3M which makes a lot more sense. For reference Ujiri signed a 5 year deal worth 15M. Morey might have signed for a similar amount considering his quote is "I'm very happy. I would love to be with the Rockets for life".
If the Rockets were a publicly listed company, the stock price would go up massively after these news. Happy for Daryl. Best and most innovative GM in the business.
One thing I'm confused about - didn't Morey recently get extended just before Les sold the team? Maybe it didn't hold up when Les sold? Or maybe Morey just got a raise and longer term?
Morey said this team NOW is better than last years team. Said that Harden should win MVP and should have 4! Of them
NBA General Managers are measured by completion of their KPIs. Morey checked every single box the owner wanted. See below: Get below the tax line - Check Help the owner disguise his true intention - Check 20% price increase in food and beverage at Toyota Center - Check Very Visible Landry's logo in the background of post-game press conference - Check Increase China viewership and revenue - Check (may need draft another 2nd rounder from China next year now Zhou is gone...)
