Morey Open for Business

Shapecity · Dec 18, 2009

Rockets.com's Jason Friedman interviewed Daryl Morey about whether or not he's getting a lot of trade offers this time of year. Morey jokes that he's running a big box store:

This is the third biggest trade discussion time of the year. The trade deadline is the biggest obviously, then the draft and also now since as of two days ago almost all the players became available. So, yeah, a lot of phone calls and I do agree that we have a lot of players that teams want. We can provide financial relief, we can provide players who can help you win now, we can provide players who can help you for the future -- so we’re sort of like Target right now in that we can provide everything under one roof. We can give it all and handle any need.

Obviously our goals are high though, so I’d expect nothing will happen. But if the right thing comes along and we can upgrade the team then that’s why I’m here.

Worth pointing out: Morey goes to some trouble to point out that he doesn't actually see players as "pieces" to be traded, but instead as humans, which is nice.

Later in the conversation, Morey addresses the nickname Bill Simmons gave him: Dork Elvis.
I don’t think that’s accurate, actually. I’m much more under the radar and stay out of the spotlight. I think I’m more like the Dork Cat Stevens.
