Moreyball is all about what's on paper, a straight-up fantasy basketball mindset that treats human beings as commodities... They've had almost as much turnover as we have in the past few years, but most of ours has been due to "win now" 1-year contracts given to reclamation projects and veterans (hired guns with an opportunity to stick), whereas Houston keeps trading away good players for guys who don't move the needle. Morey doesn't seem to realize that sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make -- it's hard to convince a free agent like Motiejunas to stick around when there's no loyalty... He'll probably just get traded anyway!
But losing him to EuroLeague? Lol.
