The Rockets are believed to be looking to add another executive to their front office, according to Emiliano Carchia of Sportando, who tweets that the position would be an assistant general manager-type role.
Houston has lost three key executives from its basketball operations department within the last two years. Executive VP of basketball operations Gersson Rosas left in 2019 to become the lead decision-maker in Minnesota, assistant general manager Monte McNair left in 2020 for a similar role with the Kings, and GM Daryl Morey departed this fall for a top basketball ops role in Philadelphia.
The Rockets responded by promoting Rafael Stone to replace Morey as general manager, with Eli Witus taking on additional responsibilities in his assistant GM role. Having promoted from within to fill the hole created by Morey’s exit, the team hasn’t made any major new additions to its front office. As such, adding another executive in a position under Stone would make some sense.
At this point, there are no indications of whom the Rockets might be targeting if they look to make an external hire.
Walladipo and Wood- you’re not qualified
And I suppose that Sillivan is (at least he thinks so)? smh
He didn’t say Sillybot was, son
Lol pretty sure sillivan already thinks he is a GM and when he comments here he thinks he is sending a company wide email
At least they’re emails and not meetings
Aye where’s too 3 homie? I’m sure he’s a candidate

Rockets follow blue print of Knicks. Of maxing out a player. Then letting him run the team. Mello yrs. Know it too well. At least Rockets got value. Knicks held onto him too long.
I thought they already had an assistant GM? Isn’t Stone assistant to Head Scout and GM Tillman Fertitta?
