Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey doesn't play video games for fun or fantasy.

Morey uses the EA Sports NBA game for professional reasons. He uses it to help evaluate talent. Morey says he is a statistical junky, an admirer of Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane and a mathematical nerd. "I've always loved numbers," Morey said. "I don't play EA Sports as a game. I use it as a tool."

While the kids plug in NBA 08 to "ooh" and "aah" over how real it looks when Kobe Bryant dunks or LeBron James runs the court and finishes, Morey plugs in for more serious purposes.

"Say if you're thinking about acquiring Ron Artest," Morey said from Hawaii, where he was evaluating talent in person at the Maui Classic college tournament.

"On the game, you can see how adding Artest can change the dynamic of your team. You can program it to run offensive sets with Artest and any combination of your players."

Morey said that even this early in the season, there are enough statistics available to evaluate rookies such as Minnesota's Kevin Love (from UCLA) and Memphis' O.J. Mayo (from USC)

"For example, you can tell how often, if Love throws an outlet pass, how often his team scores on the possession," Morey said. "You can tell how often Mayo goes right versus left, how effective the team is with Mayo pulling up and shooting versus when he pulls up and passes instead."

Ok I can see why they didn't join the Rockets if they're running things off video games.

I don't know who else rejected the Rockets, but Chris Bosh made a terrible choice.

Turning down the 4 year max in Houston with Harden, Howard, and Parsons
To spend 5 years with Udonis Haslem and the ghost of Dwyane Wade?

Seemed like a decently stacked team. Likely a better chance at a ring than Chicago, New York, or Miami. I mean yeah the east is weaker but if you can make it out of the west the ring is yours for the taking. In the east fools gold can make it all the way to the finals and implode there.

Look at the team that wins that division every year
