What are you talking about? Lol. Morey is trying to correct a bad signing and trying to win now while Hinkie took over a bad team and had a multi year plan to even start winning. Morey is literally Hinkie’s mentor.Cliffy6745 said:

Well...apples and oranges. You need stars to win. You get them either by drafting them or using your assets to acquire them via trade. Morey was able to use his assets to obtain stars like Harden and the Rockets were title contenders for most of his tenure.Cliffy6745 said:

Hinkie, on the other hand, had to acquire his assets first but then was fired before he got a chance to do anything with them.

Holy shit. Got rid of one of the worst contracts in the NBA, acquired 2 guys with better career 3 pt % than anyone else on the entire team, and scored one of the biggest steals in the draft at No. 21. And did it all without having to give up Thybulle OR Shake, which almost everyone thought had to happen in order to dump Horford’s contract. What a day!0

Ya think it's been awkward this whole time between Elton and Morey? Part of me feels like Elton's taking his lumps like a champ. But good god I'm loving Morey just destroying Brand's major moves.0

A lot of people say that Brand was only brought in as a puppet and it was ownership and other unqualified management that made some of the horrible decisions of the last year and a half. Everyone heaps praise all over Brand so it seems to me like he came in as a bit of an unqualified GM that had great relationships around the league and could act as the face of management while not actually having any power to make moves. Seems like it’s basically the same now but he can learn under someone that is actually competent.0

And just like that...this seems like a much more cohesive and better fitting team around Ben and Jo.Hell of a start for Mr Morey
TTP 2.0! Let’s go!www.myspace.com0 -
First thing I thought of after the Horford trade and then again waking up to this. I bet it’s gotta be awkward. But I like Elton and feel like he’s the kind of guy who knows he made some mistakes and can grow into a better gm with Morey’s help?Jearlpam0925 said:Ya think it's been awkward this whole time between Elton and Morey?

This is true too. A lot of Colangelo guys were left over in the front office and had too much say.RiotZact said:A lot of people say that Brand was only brought in as a puppet and it was ownership and other unqualified management that made some of the horrible decisions of the last year and a half.

Nerlens coming back? I'd love him off the bench again.

But it is hard to fathom anybody trading for it until maybe the last year when it would become an expiring slot they could use.
But as we have all seen over the years, never underestimate the stupidity of some teams/GMs. OKC is obviously stockpiling picks, but its not like a Sixers first round pick in 2025 (protected at that) is going to be very valuable. And the #34 pick this year is worthless.This weekend we rock Portland0 -
The new make up of the team reminds me of my favorite Process era Sixers roster with Roco, Dario, JJ, and all those snipers off the bench. Need as much spacing as possible for Jo and Ben....

Daryl Morey is already remaking the roster of his new team.BOB LEVEY / GETTY IMAGES
Daryl Morey has been the president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers for less than three weeks, but he has wasted no time putting his stamp on the team’s roster. The league’s most prolific trader while with the Houston Rockets, Morey swung two draft day deals designed to address his new team’s biggest weakness.
In the first, he flipped the ill-fitting Al Horford to Oklahoma City (along with first- and second-round picks, plus the rights to Serbian guard Vasilije Micić) for Danny Green — whom the Thunder had acquired in an earlier deal for Dennis Schröder — and Terrance Ferguson.1 In the second, Morey sent Josh Richardson and the rights to No. 36 overall pick Tyler Bey to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Seth Curry.
The Sixers duo of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons has been at its best when surrounded by shooters. The lineup that paired those two with J.J. Redick, Robert Covington and Dario Šarić, for example, outscored opponents by 17.7 points per 100 possessions. The pair plus Redick, Wilson Chandler and Jimmy Butler compiled 12.2 more points per 100 possessions than their foes. With Redick, Butler and Tobias Harris, their margin was plus-19.6 per 100 possessions.
The 2019-20 Sixers actually knocked down threes at a better-than-average rate (36.8 percent), but they attempted treys less often than the average team. That shouldn’t be as much of a problem with marksmen like Curry (44.3 percent from three for his career)2 and Green (40 percent)3 sliding into the rotation. It certainly doesn’t hurt that Green has extensive experience working as a 3-and-D guy with stars of all stripes, while Curry has played alongside Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Luka Dončić.
Morey’s attempt to secure snipers didn’t stop there. With the No. 49 pick, the Sixers snagged Arkansas shooting guard Isaiah Joe. Joe was widely considered one of the best shooters in the draft despite connecting on only 34.2 percent of his treys last season. He hit 41.4 percent from deep as a freshman during the 2018-19 season, making him a 37.8 percent shooter on more than 500 career attempts from outside the arc. He was also one of only 10 power-conference players to hit at least 75 threes in each of the past two seasons.
Later in the second round, Morey picked up analytics darling Paul Reed. An athletic forward who claims he runs the floor like a deer, Reed was one of only 10 collegiate players since the 1992-93 season to average at least 10 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game. Pair him with Matisse Thybulle and Zhaire Smith off the bench, and the Sixers have a whole mess of long, rangy defenders to throw at opponents and try to force some turnovers, which in turn should help mitigate any spacing issues associated with the Embiid-Simmons pairing by ratcheting up transition opportunities at the expense of half-court possessions.
Morey’s first pick of the night, though, may have been his most interesting. Kentucky point guard Tyrese Maxey isn’t yet a knockdown shooter (he made only 29.2 percent of his threes), but his free-throw percentage (83.3 percent) is encouraging, and he is extremely aggressive trying to get downhill and into the paint.
The Sixers badly need someone other than Simmons who can collapse the defense from the outside-in off the drive, and Maxey should be able to provide that for them. Harris and Richardson were, other than Simmons, the team’s two most frequent drivers last season, per NBA Advanced Stats, but were both among the least likely high-volume drivers to pass on the drive rather than shoot. Philadelphia has often struggled even to throw basic entry passes to Embiid in the post without Simmons on the floor, and Maxey should help there as well. And at 6-foot-3, Maxey has the size to defend both guard spots, meaning he could eventually be a fit alongside Simmons if his jumper ever comes around.
Throughout his tenure in Houston, Morey was famous for adhering strictly to the math behind basketball. He said often that he’d do things a little bit differently if he had a different roster, and he indeed has one now. Doing things a bit differently than he did with the Rockets doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning his principles, though. So, it should come as no surprise that each of Morey’s acquisitions aligned with attributes he has considered valuable in the past: shooting, defense, athleticism, shots at the rim. He may have changed cities and rosters, but he hasn’t changed his stripes.
