The Houston Rockets have reached an agreement on a five-year contract extension for general manager Daryl Morey.
“I’m super happy,” Morey said, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chornicle. “I’d love to be with the Rockets for life. This obviously solidifies us for a little while. I’m just really thankful to Tilman Fertitta for having the faith in our team. And really, it is about us having a team of people that makes this all work; Coach (Mike) D’Antoni, (vice president) Keith Jones, (vice president) Gersson Rosas, (trainer) Jason Biles, (assistant general manager) Monte McNair, (assistant general manager) Eli Witus, (assistant general manager, Vipers GM) Jimmy Paulis. We have too many people to mention, but I’m only as good as the people behind me.”
Morey, 46, had been in the final year of his contract in the second season with Tilman Fetitta owning the team.
The Rockets (42-25) are sitting in 3rd place in the Western Conference and host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
