Of course I don’t know with 100% certainty. Logic tells you what the most likely scenario was.

Take a look at what Haliburton was traded for and then look what predictably happened with Simmons. Sac is dumb, but they ain’t that dumb. You just happened to be one of the delusional fans at the time, I get it… since we’re talking narratives.

I also choose to believe what I hear from Morey over say, Keith Pompey. But hey, that’s just me. Guess it makes you feel better to assume a man is lying than to admit your valuation was off.



I don't think you know how these guys work. Everything is subterfuge. They only reveal what they want to reveal. It's all calculated. Some of them are as dumb as a box of rocks, but Morey is not one of them.

You can go on blindly believing everything he said though. A conman would have a great time with you.

And you’d rather ignore all logic and fact to believe a man is fibbing 2 years removed from a trade that never happened because why? To ease your feelings towards him?

Newsflash: you’re not that important.
Lol you don't get it. Morey looks bad if he confirms he didn't take the Haliburton deal. Which would you rather have an aging star who is injury prone and fails in the playoffs or a rising star that fits perfectly with your MVP and prolongs your window. Morey took a gamble and it was the wrong choice. Of course he doesn't want that to get out lol.

Never believe the person who is having his reputation smeared. He will do everything he can to refute the truth.

You say we don't matter. You know who does? Jo, he would be upset if this was on the table and Morey didn't pull the trigger.

Any reason why you're being so obnoxious about this?

Read through. Any reason you’re only asking me that? Other than you disagree with me?
Mainly because you're the one claiming the deal never was on the table.

Jo loves James. Only guy I ever heard him actually call a friend, in fact. Of course, he’s probably lying too.

Oh boy, sorry if I hurt your feelings bro, you seem to come off pretty condescending though. I by no means believe I'm a 100% right, but just because Morey said so, is some pretty weak evidence.

All that went right over your head huh.

Im basing my opinion off what actually happened. Your rebuttal is “everyone lies” and Keith Pompey said so :lol:

I never even mentioned Pompey.

Jake Fischer who has a lot more credibility mentioned it though.

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.

Morey tried to trade Simmons for Harden in 2021. The idea that he wanted Haliburton before "settling" for Harden is laughable.

Kyle nuebeck and Elliot shore made an interesting point. Embiid might be not happy that harden is not coming back and they are genuinely tight…

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.

Yeah I could see that happening, but what do you see coming from that? A trade? A request from Embiid? A trade request from Embiid?

Considering Haliburton would have been a rookie and a virtual unknown at that point in 2021, I'm not sure you make much of a point.

Yeah I don't think he settled for Harden, I think he always wanted Harden.
