Ok, so you choose to believe Ky Carlin or Jake Fischer over Morey. As if reporters don’t get played by GMs/agents/execs all the time for leverage, etc. C’mon man. The only thing we know for a FACT is that Haliburton was traded for a player way better than Ben Simmons. That’s all the real proof you need, but if you want to continue with the highly technical “everybody lies” theory, you got it.
The Kings had Fox and Hali on the table. From my understanding Morey wanted both, and not just one of the players. But Hali was on the table, you can choose to believe what you want. Kings were right on not doing that deal, but the Kings did offer Hali. Again, i think hindsight is 20/20 you obviously take the Hali deal, knowing the player he is now, but I don't blame Morey for taking Harden, he was a sure thing. Just another one of those what if's for a franchise that's main legacy is, what if.
I’m not debating that’s what was being reported. Your “understanding” of both Fox and Hali being on the table comes from not much more than gossip though. How many times have we heard both players and GMs say less than half of what’s reported is BS?
Look, if you still want to believe those reports that’s certainly your prerogative. I’m just saying after the fact, what actually happened jives more with what Morey is now saying than what those reports were saying at the time. Ultimately, we’ll never really know.
