Mark Berman: Agent Mark Bartelstein (@prioritysports) on @DeMarre Carroll joining the #Rockets:”They’re a championship contender.He fits in perfectly with the style of ball they play.Daryl & Mike aggressively pursued him. He’s got a lot in the tank & he’s really excited to get the opportunity”
Daryl Morey Rumors
If the Rockets fail to advance deep into the postseason, the consensus is that D’Antoni returning would be unlikely. People around the league are less certain about general manager Daryl Morey’s future, though.
Jonathan Feigen: Rockets make it official, announcing the 10-day contract with Jeff Green. Daryl Morey: “Jeff is a very versatile player. Can play big, can guard on the perimeter, athletic, somebody that can hit 3s. We love his versatility and feel he can fit right in w/ what we’re trying to do.”
The BlackBerry development, though, undeniably stung. Rosas, you see, is one of four lead decision makers for N.B.A. teams known to still do the bulk of their business on a BlackBerry. Rosas, Houston’s Daryl Morey, Oklahoma City’s Sam Presti and Toronto’s Masai Ujiri compose the confirmed quartet. Milt Newton, Milwaukee’s assistant general manager, is another Blackberry devotee. Perhaps more will become known after this article hits, but Rosas described the adherents as “a small community.” BlackBerry stopped producing its own phones in 2016 but had a licensing agreement with a Chinese company (TCL Corporation) to keep making them, which led to the KEYone model in February 2017 and the KEY2 in June 2018. According to the Feb. 3 announcement, no new phones will be released through TCL after Aug. 31.

UNDISPUTED: “Daryl Morey is a good GM, but he’s overrated because everybody thinks he’s this phenomenal GM. He’s obsessed with big names, he’s obsessed with making moves.” @Chris_Broussard on the Capela-for-Covington trade
Chris Broussard: Daryl Morey is a good GM. But let’s stop acting like he’s Jerry West. Stop it!
