This from Richard Justice:
Alexander has resisted rebuilding, instead urging Morey to keep adding and to keep the Rockets as competitive as possible. Morey has done a very good job acquiring talent, but not Kobe Bryant-type talent. As the last 2-3 years have played out, the Rockets have become more and more convinced that the draft is the best way to acquire those guys.
Interesting because, to date, Morey has famously avoided rebuilding, holding onto vets (like Luis Scola), in hopes of acquiring a star via trade. If Justice’s sources are correct, this signals a capitulation of sorts in philosophy. For many, this would come as a huge relief.
