Reassessment time: Your confidence in Morey right now?

[FireMorey]

Which option best describes your opinion on Morey right now?

And I'm curious what your opinion of him was when he was hired and how much it has changed since then.

We were the vegas favorites to win it when we were up 3-2

Sometimes.. or i mean.. most times.. players just have to deliver.

Wait and see. This offseason and direction of the team ultimately hinges on the Harden decision.

If we had Nurse instead of Glenn we win the Boston series. It's that simple. Coaching matters.

[Skates]

Check back with me in a month or two, reserving judgment till then.

[youngcrev]

I still have plenty of confidence in Morey. That doesn't equate to me thinking he'll be able to get the job done though. I think he'll continue to put them in position to have a chance.

**** em lol


until he does something that isn't just getting someone he knows from his rocket days....he is a bitch ass **** to me.

You can’t say that with Harden and Embiids’s track record. They are notorious losers.

2nd option. I like the Nurse signing, his first coach hire as President. I liked the Jalen McDaniels trade.

I hated the PJ Tucker signing.

Liked the Simmons for Harden trade, but have grown sour on Harden.

I expect him to do everything to resign Harden.

The deciding factor for me will be what he does with Tobias. He must go at all costs. His return could, or lack of one, could be make or break for me.

I also don’t like that he traded all of our picks this year. He still has time to fix that though.

I’ll give him this season to believe that he can still field a winner.

Morey absolutely needs to prove he isn't washed this offseason. We'll even score it, make it all subjectively analytical.

Having a cohesive plan now is an improvement. Whether it works is extremely doubtful, but at least there's a vision.


Coaching hire - Nurse is an excellent hire. 5/5

Harden situation - Goading Harden to opt in was impressive, but shortsighted. Not trading him when he asked out fits with Daryl being both a gambler and a weirdo. And it's going to backfire because Harden doesn't think he can torch his future value because he thinks he's still the best player in the league. 1/5

Harris trade - This might not happen since the plan is now '24 FA. But running back the exact same team as last year is dumb. Would it kill someone to change up something about this team? Why do you want an unwatchable product? You can't turn Tobias into bench depth and a shooter at the 4? Come on now Daryl. 2/5

Resigning youngsters to reasonable deals - Youngsters meaning McDaniels and Reed. Also Petrusev wants to come over. McDaniels walked over a 2/9 contract, which is idiotic as you need cheap depth to pay for your stars AND they desperately need wings. And then Morey re-signs Harrell, who had miraculously opted out, to essentially fill Reed's spot. And then matches a slightly above value deal for Reed, based on what I feel was fan pressure, even though it puts them in the tax and removes full max cap space next summer. Petrusev is signed though? 2/5

Backup PG - Need another ballhandler. Beverley and Melton are not PGs. This does not appear to be any type of priority to be addressed. 0/5

We'll revisit this and fill it in as the offseason progresses. As of August 16th, Morey should lose his job.

Doc Rivers is a bigger loser than Harden and Embiid combined. Brett Brown is better and more adaptable than him.

Looking back on it, we'd have been better off with Brett coaching instead of Glenn. However Brett burned bridges with his atrocious GMing, which was even worse than Collars, so he had to go.

[Jailblazers7]

I think his moves on the margins have been good but passing on 10 years of Haliburton in favor of a few years of old Harden is a franchise changing mistake. I’m not super confident in him but also not afraid he’ll do something terribly stupid at this point.

I’m not here to defend Doc, but he has a ring. So no.

[SixersFanInNY]

I think he is decent, but far from the top. He hasnt made any terrible decisions, chief of which would have been a max contract to a non-max player (Beal, 5/max for Harden, etc).

But at the same time, he seems to want midgetball which I dont think is the right approach for the Sixers, not to mention that 2 of the last 3 champions have kind of been twin towers. The Sixers used to be one of the tallest teams, though part of their downsizing is unavoidable due to the SImmons situation. I also dont think collecting aging Houston retreads is the way to go.

[NYSixersFan]

He's a complete fraud. No confidence whatsoever. Re-signing Harden will be the final nail in the coffin for him and this "process".

[TorturedFan76]

I have been very down on Morey for the past 2 years. But I dont mind giving him a chance with Rivers gone, because I think Glen had way too much power and likely vetoed a lot of Morey's potential moves.
Im still pretty down on him regardless, but Im willing to see what he can do this summer.
Its option 4 for me.
With the understanding that he has no assets left to do anything to major, I just want to see smart moves. Mainly want to see them start trying to rebuild the stockpile of assets because we need to be ready for the end of the Embiid era when that comes- likely not too far from now.
What I expect is just seeing him sign more washed up vets that are his guys, and not really worrying about obtaining any future assets. We will continue to tread water as faux contenders.

[rocketsfan100]

Morey by the looks of it got harden back on a 2 year deal under the max and his final grade will depend on what he does with Tobias

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I realize the Lakers were gifted their return by the league when they traded Westbrook, but it did happen nonetheless and I give mad props to the Lakers GM for that move. That trade not only got the Lakers to the playoffs, but it got them to the Western Conference Finals.

If we can land something similar as they did for Tobias Harris, then I will have all the faith restored in Morey as our GM. After the Tucker signing, I was pretty upset with him for giving him that kind of money. Aside from the Tucker signing, I have mostly had an all-around applause for the moves Morey has made. I think he'll make another decent one this summer, but how I feel about him going forward will be largely determined by how he handles the Tobias Harris situation. All the signs point to him being moved in the off-season, but it may not be as easy as we think.

I think Morey's strength lies in the under-the-radar moves he tends to make. George Niang, D'Anthony Melton. There's been one good one every offseason. I'd like to see another one this summer while also finding a way to keep Niang and Melton on this team.

[76ciology]

The only complain I have with Morey is this.

"This gives us 0.8, this gives us 0.9, this gives us 1.2. Why don’t we do the 1.2 every time? Why do we do the 0.8s and 0.9s?" Mike D'Antoni, Daryl Morey and James Harden explain the Houston Rockets

I think he need to learn that without chaos and unpredictability that number goes down because teams eventually gets used to playing it.

It’s OK if we have Michael Jordan or Jokic, but our alphas are inferiors and wouldnt be able to push it through whenever whatever.
