\n\u201cFor me, it was just a great run,\u201d Morey told ESPN on Thursday night in a telephone conversation that also included Fertitta. \u201cPersonally, the timing worked for me. My youngest son just graduated from high school, and it was just the right time to see what\u2019s next with family and other potential things in the future. It just felt like the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daryl Morey stepping down as Houston Rockets GM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[3392,435],"rumors":[175],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-178355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-daryl-morey-en","tag-houston-rockets","rumors-nba-rumors","typology-rumors"],"yoast_head":"\n
