- Because of the salary cap, you have a player like Trevor Ariza. He’s part of your winning culture. And then there is a losing organization that offers him a lot of money. Do you sit him down? What’s the pep talk? Those are very painful losses. I think he’s one of those nuanced players that has real value, especially against a long capable scoring team on the wing like Golden State.
You know is there a sales pitch? Like, hey man, you’re gone from a winning culture to that culture. Was that especially painful?
- Yeah. Trevor’s been such a big part of what we’ve done. And he’s had multiple stents at Houston. And really a beloved player and was fantastic for us. You know my job is to basically fit and create a championship contender within the box that the CBA gives us.
So it’s a pretty straightforward conversation. I spoke to Trevor two days ago. He has no ill feelings towards Houston. So wish him luck in Phoenix. But my job is to fit a great team within a box the collective bargaining agreement gives me. Sometimes you know a guy gets a huge offer, and you have to move on from that. And my job is to find new players that are going to come in and hopefully give us as much, if not more, than what Trevor gave us.
And we feel like James Ennis coming in is someone that can really add a lot. We really like the upside of Michael Carter Williams. Obviously, we’re trying to take smart risk to close this gap with Golden State. And we feel like Ennis and Michael Carter-Williams do that. And we do have, obviously, a heavily rumored move potentially coming up that we feel good about if that works out.

火箭总经理莫雷在Colin Cowherd的访谈里谈论阿里扎离队以及休赛季其他运作 ：
由于工资帽的问题，你的球队中像阿里扎这样的球员（离开了）。他是球队赢球文化的一部分，但是一个输球较多的球队（指太阳）给了他更多的钱。你和他坐下来聊了吗？没有说什么鼓励他留下的话么？毕竟这是一个很让人心痛的损失。我认为他是让球队体系更好运转的一员，特别是在对阵像勇士这样侧翼火力强大的球队时，他能展现自己的价值。
比如你有过游说么？就像“老哥你现在这是从一个赢球的文化里去那边诶”这个过程很痛苦吗？
胖子：对的，就我们走到现在，阿里扎是非常重要的一部分，他对我们的作用是多方面的，对我们来时他深受喜爱而且非常棒。但你知道，我的工作是在CBA条款框架之下创造一个有力的争冠球队。
所以我们之间的谈话很直白。两天前我和她对话了，他对休斯顿没有恨意，所以我祝他在凤凰城一切顺利，但是在强调一下，我的工作实在CBA条款限制之下组建一个争冠球队。有些时候你知道一个老哥拿了个大合同，那你可能不得不把他从球队阵容里移出了。那么我的工作就是找到一个愿意来，并且至少能承担阿里扎工作的球员
而且我们认为恩尼斯的加入可以有很大帮助，我们也很期待迈卡威的长处能带来点什么。明显，我们在尝试一些有风险的小聪明去缩小和金州的差距，恩尼斯和迈卡威就是这样的。而且，坊间盛传以致喧嚣的那个谣言可能就快成真了（应该是瓜哥），一旦事成我们也非常开心。
obviously, a heavily rumored move potentially coming up that we feel good about if that works out
采访中这句还比较重点，和火箭绯闻最大的巨星，再联和现在休赛季的状况，应该是安东尼没有错
而具火箭管理层的表态中，也不难发现，火箭在为这名巨星努力，而安东尼也表态愿意为火箭放弃交易否决权
只能说最后的这句话还真有些鼓舞火箭士气：这个在坊间盛传以致喧嚣的那个谣言可能就快成真了（这个说法是不是太隐晦了...)
对于火箭休赛季来说，的确需要一个大的操作才能弥补和金州的差距，而保罗的顶薪对于火箭空间来说，也只有安东尼有这个可能，在火箭和勇士的天平上，起到决定的作用。
至于很多朋友质疑安东尼的状态，说实话我还是比较看好安东尼，毕竟在保罗和哈登身边，安东尼应该会轻松很多
而最近比较纠结的卡佩拉——会留的吧，参考莫泰和火箭，卡佩拉团队应该会有些让步，毕竟在超级控卫身边，吃吃饼还是很欢乐的
