Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 11:21 pm

The Philadelphia 76ers attempted to hire Daryl Morey away from the Houston Rockets as general manager.

Morey has been with the Rockets over the past 12 seasons.

The 76ers are searching for a replacement for Bryan Colangelo.

It's hard for me to believe that of the over seven-billion people roaming the earth, the only people the 76ers could think of to run their team was one of the 29 other people that already have the same job. Have some creativity!

Toldja. This guy Morey is a clown.
Not 1, not 2, not 3...12 yrs!
We know who's the source of this "news".

He wants to pressure ownership into giving him a raise BEFORE the season starts and people realize what a donut the HOU roster is.

Why is it that PHI is being used and abused?
Why is every agent/FO throwing the PHI name into every news leak?

How about Ainge? Magic Johnson? Why not Presti? Pat Riley?

OTOH, why not give Dr. J or AI a try?

Philly should hire Sam Hinske. I heard he’s pretty good.

Who's right and wrong re Bron? To what degree?
Lol. Look again.

And No, an Ownership group wouldn't say we wanted another guy for dozen yrs over all other hires. They lose credibility. You're in the talent hunt game yr after yr, you stay classy.

Pretty sure those guys are a little way down the list from Morey and Buford.

By the way, I see Lin keeps you pretty busy rotating avatars and icons. :lol:

U notice how everyone is using the headless PHI FO as a sweetener to spruce up their own asking price?
Why? No one @ is the mouthpiece to smack down Phi rumors.
So they get their name used over n over.

HOU has an ownership prob...Morey has to know and he needs to cash in..

Either:
1. You hate smart people.
2. Context is irrelevant.

Take your pick.
