[Neubeck] Daryl Morey: “Our focus was what our focus always is — what gives us our best chance to win the championship?” Morey says they feel they got the best player who was added at the deadline in Hield

  1. > Morey: “We did go in saying, hey let’s see if we can shore [backup center] up depth wise…there really were no bigs traded. I was shocked by that, we were aggressive to do that.”

    > Daryl Morey says as a shooter, Buddy Hield “puts the fear of god in other teams…that’s super valuable with Joel and Tyrese”

    > Morey says the Springer trade was simple calculus for them — they believed during the next 1-2 years that a pick would be more helpful (potentially in a trade, for example) to their chances to win than Springer would be. They believed he’s on a longer development timeframe

    > Daryl Morey said the team is hopeful that Joel Embiid will be back before the end of the season and that feedback they’ve received so far has been more good than bad.

    > Daryl Morey on trading Patrick Beverley and PatBev’s comment about being told he wouldn’t be traded:

  2. Yeah I think that’s fair. We got the best guy moved at the deadline. Sure Siakam and OG were better but they were gone a month ago. And I’m glad we got neither of them.

    No one can think Morey is a good GM anymore right? Or maybe he just doesn’t care now? 

    Just an embarrassing performance and the usual nonsense about next year.

    I don’t mind that we traded Springer immediately following him locking up Steph Curry 1on1 for 3 quarters and giving Luka fits 1on1

    I do mind that he only got a single 2nd rd pick for him immediately following those performances 😩

    He never should have drafter Springer in the first places. Was a dumbass pick from the beginning.

    I really just didn’t like that we gave players to Boston and Milwaukee of all teams.

    Morey is a clown who has no idea whats he’s doing

    🧢

    Pat Bev stated on his podcast, the moron made assurances to Pat he was not going to be traded

    Your focus was to save your glutton money. End of story.

    We all talk shit but I did appreciate Morey’s patience in this trade. Leaving Indy a little desperate. The Sixers definitely won this trade.

    If we kept Beverly and got hield we would be a better team. Simple as that
