Max PG, trade likely 4 1sts for Mikal or Lauri, fill rest of roster with vet mins (yes this works within the cap)

Maybe Daryl is going to use Reed for a salary in a trade.

He’s been telling us that he’s built teams that were already competing for championships

Does anyone really trust this man to build a championship team? I certainly don’t. He has done nothing here to prove to me that he can. It’s all just retreads of dudes from his past teams.

Year #5 of the Daryl Morey era that so far has resulted in not being anywhere closer to a championship than when he took over.
The excuses stop now. He doesn’t have Tobias anymore. Doesn’t have Doc anymore.

Morey loves to hear himself talk.

My takeaways:
1. Morey is less concerned about age. So long as the player is good and can play with Joel and Tyrese. In fact, he believes age matters less now more than ever (despite all the old players getting knocked out in the first round).
2. Morey believes, even with the new CBA and recent trends, that getting as many stars as possible, and filling in around them where you can, is the best strategy.
Everyone hoping Morey was going to focus on putting great role players around Joel and Tyrese are going to be sorely disappointed. Morey’s going name hunting again.

The 3 max players model is a failure how many teams have to bear that out for others to realize that? A backup center that can actually be a plus for 15-18 minutes per game and those that Joel misses, a genuine 6th man, and like two 3 and D guys that can actually 3 and D would make this team far more of a threat than Paul George and G-league guys playing 4-8 in the rotation.

Yeah Daryl you fucked yo so bad with the Harden fiasco. Just don’t piss away our draft picks anymore.

My biggest concern is whether Morey actually knows how to put this team in a place where we are competing for championships. We were a better team before the trade deadline than after it.
We now have two bonafide superstars that play extremely well together. Let’s build an actual team around those 2 instead of chasing a 3rd superstar that will inevitably lead to us stocking the bench with trash.

Give me confirmation that Tobias is gone and I’ll start believing again

Did he mention Nic Batum at all?

The Doc Rivers of GMs but at least Doc got a chip 😂

Daryl Morey is a liar!

I just like morey a lot. A shame the fanbase is a bit split on him. It feels like the first time since hinkie we’ve actually had a competent gm
