Before I hit you with this fun little nugget, I want to reiterate something Dwyer wrote in April: "Houston Rockets' general manager Daryl Morey isn't a genius. He's not a step and a half ahead of his colleagues. He's just better at being a GM than anyone else, right now."Now, with that said, would I be surprised to learn that Morey is a chess Grandmaster or that he could sketch the entire New York skyline — from memory — after just one twenty-minute helicopter ride over Manhattan?
