Morey has balls. Although not sure I'd dump Morris for a 2nd

He had his reasons. Nice overall night for Houston.
Problem with Morey's method though, is that, he loves trades too much.
You need stability to build a winning team.

May be they had to make room on their roster... they seems to have wayy too many players...

There's not a close second.
Signing Lin, a point of comparable talent and upside to their incumbent, Kyle Lowry, making Lowry exependable.
The Lowry deal to get Toronto's first pick, which eventually became a key piece in the Harden trade.
What looks like a terrific gamble on Omer Asik.
The Harden trade.
Getting Thomas Robinson for a couple dime-a-dozen stretch 4s.
Amazing.
The 4-year contract he got Chandler Parsons to agree to in December of 2011 was also great.

Stability is worthless without talent. His key players are locked up for at least 2 more seasons each.

My gut feeling tells me that statistical analysis in sports is overrated. There's a place for statistics, but guys like Popovich and Belichick I believe are wired differently than everyone else in the same way that Warren Buffett is. From what I understand, (and I really don't understand much to be honest) it's all pretty qualitative.

Neither of those guys can win without talent. Morey's done a very good job acquiring talent.

Stability is what got Celtics, Heat and Lakers their championships recently right?

I didn't see how else your comment fit into the discussion. What was your point?
Well the Heats didn't win the championship in their first year. Celtics and Lakers were able to repeat their Finals appearance because they stuck together. You don't see Kupchak trading away Kobe. You don't see Ainge trading away KG, Pierce, etc.
If Morey can keep this group together - good for him. But I get the feeling he gets itchy if he doesn't make a trade at the trade deadline (6th year straight now).
.. so we'll just have to see.
Ever since the patriarch died and left the fortune to some trust fund babies with .01 the business sense of the Hilton Sisters.
It's like Russell Brand in Aurthur on the molly.

What key players or potential key players of contenders has he traded? Has he had sufficient talent to grow a contender at the time of any of these moves?
Heat made it to the Finals their first year and won in the second.
Celtics made it in their first year.
Yes Lakers kept their superstar player Kobe that is kind of a given
Stability is what got Jazz their championship right?
Basketball does not need stability it needs good players. Other sports stability is valuable, not basketball. Look at what one and done players do in college.
