KG and Daryl Morey

I spoke with Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey this afternoon to get his thoughts on the trade which sent forward Juwan Howard to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for guard Mike James and forward Justin Reed.

The 1-on-1 interview is short; but, it is filled with good info from Morey.

Check it out.

HRR and Mike James

After today's Houston Rockets' press conference featuring new (once again) guard Mike James; new head coach Rick Adelman; and new (officially) General Manager Daryl Morey, I spoke with Mike James 1-on-1 to get his thoughts on the deal which brought him back to Houston; teaming with Rafer Alston; and, the reports from Minnesota saying he asked the Timberwolves to trade him for the benefit of himself and the T-wolves' organization.

Take a listen...
