    I hate losing anyone who works under Morey, but that's probably why they want him. He will probably implement the same system in Philly.

    I doubt the Rockets have much intel on the draft considering they have one late pick.

    The league is taking everyone from the Rockets... asst. GM and both asst. coaches are going to yanked away...

    Also, the fact that the Sixers are taking Hinkie after all that BS "stats are useless blah blah blah" bluster last summer is gratifying. Eat crow, Sixers (my hometown team... sigh...).

    Didn't the 76ers GM bash our front office last summer for the way we conducted business?

    Congrats Sam. And while he might be important here having Rockets "alumni" in other franchises is also good.

    Not just drafts though, how the front office works, what statistics to use and how to interpret them...

    Morey should hire me as Hinkie's replacement.
