    Morey has made several moves in his four year tenure. Which one struck you the most in making you realize that "In Morey we trust." If there are options I am missing please present them.

    When he pulled off the Ron Artest trade for, at the time, nothing of significance I knew something good was up. I know Greene may develop into something nice and the pick we gave them turned out to be Casspi but neither player would be an upgrade over what he have now and it gave us a chance to compete for a title.

    I was a fan as soon as he became GM-- even before he made any moves.

    We weren't going to get any worse at that point.

    I would have to say the Lowry deal.

    The Scola deal caught my attention.

    The Landry/Brooks picks drew me closer.

    By the time the Lowry trade was made, Morey became...

    He proved he could steal a player from a desperate team, draft well, and make seemingly small moves with big payoffs.

    The Ron Artest trade.

    I seriously thought we had a good chance to compete that year and Tmac was gonna be productive.. too bad he wasnt and Ron was uhh out of shape.

    I'm a fan of the Houston Rockets, not of Morey. As long as he doesn't screw up the Rockets I'm happy, but could care less about Morey himself.

    Agreed, and already repped.

    I don't view Morey as anything more than a fellow businessman....who works for my favorite team.

    I am a fan of DM as long as he continues to work in the best interest of the team.

    I like how when he rapes someone, he does it real gentle-like -- to where the raped party thinks, "You know, I didn't mind that raping so much. I might allow him to rape me again in the future." Wait, what was the question?

    morey is a part of the team... to the same extent i'm a fan of adelman.

    or any other player that comes through here.

    to say that I'm not interested in the personnel (players included) themselves when they are a part of the rockets organization is dumb. I do care, because I'm a rockets fan. morey is a rocket, and has done his job admirably.

    hell, I'm a fan of the ball boys that help the players train.

    the morey worshiping may go to far (its somewhat a meme at this point, so maybe not so bad) but going the other way saying he doesn't matter is kinda dumb too.

    I'd rather cheer for real people than an abstract concept of an organization.
