Reassessment time: Your confidence in Morey right now?

I like Morey’s IDGAF calmness during all these. Some average GM would have made some panic moves already.

This is absolutely true. Most people on this board would have peed themselves and traded Tobias for Dorian Finney Smith by now. Morey has an 80 grade calmness.

What you call "IDGAF calmness", others would call "utter cluelessness".

Morey is not doing a great job here and he has serious flaws but he's far from clueless.

After signing Harrell, would you care to reconsider?

Morey saw Heat culture make it to the finals and thinks T-Rez is our Udonis Haslem???? Best fake reasoning I can come up with to sarcastically defend Morey on this one.

How I feel about Morey and this offseason right now *Childish , Loud and Wet Fart Sound*

Morey after signing Trez
*Here Harden here's your Houston buddy Montrez , I begged him to stay for you . Please don't be mad at me anymore, you know your my everything*

I'm sick of these two codependent weirdo's already.

Paul Reed sign and trade with a Korkmaz filler could be interesting...

In that case, why wouldn't they sign n trade McDaniels instead of letting him walk.

[LessMorey]

I have to think Morey made a deal with Trez where he'd test the market and see if he could sign a veteran minimum w/another team, which would be more money than his PO, and if he couldn't find a team, Morey would sign him to a new vet minimum.

Not having the PO allows only $2 million to count on the Sixers cap, and they let him try to find a new team to get him off their books. Of course, nobody wanted him.

The real problem was the original signing. One, because Trez was already washed, but also giving him the PO meant the full salary was on the salary cap instead of only $2 million.

I have to think this is what happened because it didn't make sense for Trez to opt out of the PO when we assumed he was on the verge of being out of the league.

After signing Harrell, would you care to reconsider?

Actually, yeah.

[Sixersftw]

I woke up to a Trez signing. Morey is washed beyond washed.

Yep, this pretty much nails it on the head.

There's no way Morey trades James. He'd rather deal with a clown show.

I hate this team.

[Slacktard]

I voted 'I've lost confidence in Morey. I won't rule out a good summer, but I don't expect it' when this poll started and remain there. Although In another month I could certainly be in the last column and completely out.

Morey has his hands tied by the owner. McDaniels is a player he would have resigned along with Milton. Even Niang was a positive asset that walked. Any of those players could be used to attach in trades to get back assets especially if paired with Tobias prior to the deadline. The FO is trying to stay under the aprons and avoid the repeater tax burden when Embiid and Maxey become maxed along with whatever Tobias turns into after Harden expires. It’s basically punting this year to see what Maxey can do is my guess. Tobias will only be traded for expiring players because Harden might bring back longer term commitments. The owner has a line he won’t cross and he will not stay in the tax for more than a year. The new CBA is trying to reel in those teams that live in the tax. Warriors, Clippers etc. but it’s going to affect cheaper owners more in terms of competing is my prediction. This is the perfect example.

I personally think Montrezl is a Morey type player. His pts per FGA fits his type and so does other advanced metrics like box plus minus for regular season and playoffs.

The problem with Harrell is he is a terrible fit with this team. Because our team is constructed with a center to carry the load of our defense. So there was a time when we even had to run a Reed-Montrezl duo sometime in regular season.

He was a terrible player last season but he can be a much better player in the future, depending on the situation and structure. I can only see him having a role on two type of structures, a lengthy and talented 3-4 duo or a double big line-up.

On the other hand McDaniels to be a project. Im OK if he signs the minimum with us, but definitely would let him go with the money he is asking or got.

Morey could easily avoid tax by trading for Haliburton instead of being fooled by James Harden and his fella PJ Tucker. He deserves every mess he's in right now.

[marcush]

Really dissapointing to get Daryl at this point of his career. 10 years ago he would have had the foresight to make a Haliburton deal. Now he’s just a shell of his former self.

[Kobblehead]

From an asset management perspective, it seems like really bad GM'ing to lose Shake Milton (2 years, $5m annually with his new team) and Jaden McDaniels (2 years, $4.6m annually with his new team).

We're probably going to lose Paul Reed, as well, to a low annual figure with his new team.
