Morey used to collect first round picks too. Now he just gives them away. Im confident thats not a decision he wanted to make based on his track history.

great post OP.

That is hilarious how he is the prominent guy on the mural. and 2 pictures of him too.

Trying to imagine the artist he hires to commission that.

He does make me dislike the Rockets

Whenever I’m in an arena to watch a game, the first question I ask is where are al the murals of the owner and his family? Because you never get tired of those....

Morey extended under Alexander.

It reminds me of Ted Rogers, owner of Rogers Communications in Canada. They own the Toronto Blue Jays. Family worth over $10B. The Blue Jays have won 2 world series. Outside of the stadium, they have one statue. Ted Rogers. I live near the stadium,and I never fail to shake my head passing it. A statue of Joe Carter hitting the world series with a home run? Nope. A statue of an old man in a business suit.

I hate terrible owners, they always kneecap teams and the fans.

I hope the Rockets do well for their fans.

To be fair, I'd probably do a lot more outrageous stuff than this if I had 10 billion dollars to play with.

Not that that makes it right.

his kids put the statue up after he died. When called out, they said that he deserved it for "saving" the team. As if there was any chance it would ever leave. It looks so silly out there. Walking past it with my girlfriend she asked "who is that of" and when I said his name (everyone here knows the name Ted Rogers), she asked the obvious "why the hell does he have a statue outside a baseball stadium?"

Houston fans, do you think the Westbrook move was mostly made by Fertita to sell tickets as opposed to winning?

Morey signed his extension during Fertitta's second season as owner. That should've been more than enough time for Morey to know the kind of man he was working for.

You forgot the part when Fertita fires Morey in part for ruining and compromising the NBA's cash flow from China

I think it was clear that Harden just hated Paul (and vice versa), and told them "Trade him for my guy, or I'll ask for a trade".

Oh yeah you probably should've mentioned how he's a well known mafia/mob boss
