The transformation of the new Rockets regime continues with the promotion of Dean Cooper to vice president of player personnel and Gersson Rosas to director of scouting.

Those are the latest moves in what has been a busy offseason for the team with Daryl Morey officially succeeding the retired Carroll Dawson as general manager and Rick Adelman replacing Jeff Van Gundy as head coach.

"I want to thank owner Leslie Alexander and Daryl for giving me this opportunity," Cooper said. "Since I first joined the organization, my dream has been to remain a Rocket for a long time."
