    Now it's personal, Philly. I hope your team fails.

    For some reason this is pissing me off. They literally had Morey 2.0 in Hinkie, but than didn't have the courage to stick with him when media and fan attention turned negative. Then they turn and hire the most average GM possible in Colagnelo, who turned out to be an untalented narcissist. Selling out an approach before it finishes in the face of popular narratives is pretty much the antithesis to analytical approaches. You can't hire Hinkie, who clearly has a revolutionary mind and is going to veer away from what the rest of the league is doing, then get cold feet when the narrative doesn't go your way. Get outta here Philly

    Sam Hinkie is Jeff Luhnow in many ways, tanking to get top picks and getting Embiid. Philadelphia and Stephen A Smith is such a loudmouth Calling for Sam Hinkies Firing.

    You think Murray has too much respect and goodwill for hinkie to do him like that, even without all he has created and painstakingly built up with the rockets

    Dumb leadership move by 76ers

    Maury didn't re-sign Luke Aboh Mute Tay, so I feel like Tillman should've let him walk to Philly.

    Well if you can't get Lebron you go after the next biggest superstar in basketball I guess.

    They made a mistake by researching clutchfans to try to find out more about him. They picked him up at the airport with a sign that said, "Welcome Moaree".

    Does Sixers owner, Josh Harris, not respect Tilman Fertitta?

    Morey is loyal as hell. Respect to him.

    Tilman better realize what he has, though. If he continues to flake on paying the tax, and continuing to lie about it, I bet Morey will begin to look around.

    Les Alexander hired Daryl Morey from the Celtics, Les wanted Analytics based GM, when Theo Epstein Red Sox were winning Titles.
    Les gave Daryl a huge opportunity to run the Organization. Daryl deserves a Raise and a Promotion. Trading for James Harden is the best Trade for a Young Superstar in NBA History.
    Daryl Morey and Jeff Luhnow are the best in their leagues.
