    Either NBA needs to fine 76ers while Daryl is under contract with the Rockets or The NBA don't want the Rockets to ever win a Title. Daryl Morey is a huge threat to the NBA.

    take him, Tilman can hire Clutchfans as the new Rockets GM. Maybe we'll finally get a re-brand and fill the lower bowl.

    Houston will trade Luhnow + Texans GM Brian Gaine in exchange for the Eagles GM and Villanova basketball coach Jay Wright

    Pass on that deal... Luhnow is arguably the best executive in sports right now. His command of the entire organization and his strategy of management is as progressive as there is in sports. Years from now sports executives will be emulating him.

    Please don't ever use "cleavage" and "Morey" in the same sentence again.

    Why Daryl Morey Banned The Phrase “Man Boobs”
    27 comments
    A new book from Moneyball author Michael Lewis contains details on Houston’s brand of Moreyball and how they lost out on Marc Gasol.
    By Max Croes@CroesFire Dec 15, 2016, 4:00pm CST

    In the 2007 draft the Houston Rockets were helmed by a rookie general manager with a new method of using data to predict the future performance of NBA draft picks. His model projected a rich future for a doughy Spaniard the Rockets staff had nicknamed “Man Boobs.”

    A tepid Daryl Morey unfortunately passed on asking his team to see Marc Gasol’s future the way the analytics did and not through the prism of childish insults. After being drafted with the 48th pick of the draft Marc Gasol was traded to Memphis where he became a two-time All Star, two-time All NBA player and the 2013 Defensive Player of the Year.

    The body-shaming scouts ignorantly had Marc Gasol wrong. The analytics and data had it right. After that draft Daryl Morey banned Rockets staff from using any nicknames in the future, including “Man Boobs.”

    Moneyball’s author Michael Lewis tucked this gem of a story in his new book “The Undoing Project” which explores the early research into the human decision making process and how to combat poor decision which fails due to a reliance on human error, association or bias.

    I wouldn’t trade Morey even for both Ebiid & Simmons. Great players come loose every year in draft, FA, or trades. But if you get a bad GM, you may get screwed for years.

    I fully support Daryl's courageous attempt to ban Man Boobs. They shall not stand! Wow, that's a scary thought. Standing man boobs. Yeah, I'm against them, too! :cool:

    The teams that find the Daryl Moreys, not the ones that pay them the max, are the ones that succeed long term

    Eagles just won a superbowl and Jay Wright led villanova to 2 championships in 3 years. The Cougars could use a basketball coach like Jay Wright.
