Re: MOREY!!!!!
Biggest takeaway was Morey casually mentioning that Embiid has been doing two-a-days at the facility.

I liked how Elton took credit for all of the hires prior to Morey, including Glenn.

Well the first question he got was from a Sixers social media person so yeah that was probably at least discussed before.

Re: MOREY!!!!!
Morey definitely focused on Jo as the number one star on the team. Good to see that the execs on this team will be using common sense again.

Re: MOREY!!!!!
Daryl clearly wasn't aware the "collaborative" has become a bad word here.

Then Morey said "who has final say? That would be me, and Doc, the people on this stage..." LOL
Deferring to Josh I suppose. Josh did clearly identify Morey as the head of basketball ops, though. I just can't believe Morey came here to be a figurehead.

Re: MOREY!!!!!
Yeah I found that very interesting, and in my opinion telling, that if at some point if we do trade someone it's going to be Ben. He said Jo is the type of player you have on your team when you win championships. That doesn't take away from the value of Ben. I feel we can make it work with both players. He definitely leaned more on the Jo side. It'll be interesting to see how Ben feels about that lol.the_process wrote:Morey definitely focused on Jo as the number one star on the team.

The media seems to think the same thing.

If it's not for Harden, it'll be Bradley Beal.

Spike was on the press conference? I think you mean Howard, who is Spike's father and has been on Philly sports radio for years.

Same..
And looking at the trend..
Brett “Ben’s Attorney” Brown..
FO Guys who drafted Ben..
Maybe it’s really an end of an era.
Personally, I’d give Doc a chance to make it work. But boy..
Harden and Biid. How can you pass that one up? That’s a once in a lifetime type move
Just think about it. We could have a championship already if we had traded Ben for Kawhi. Then maybe Jimmy would have stayed if Kawhi walks.
“Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor”... hmmm

I think Morey has high standards on his top 2 players. Like both has to be superstars or MVP caliber talent. I don’t think Ben or Beal are.
