    Morley just signed an extension last offseason. It was basically Les’ last official live before selling the team. Can teams even interview a GM under contract? Surely Tilman would have shut them down.

    What’s funny is that most of the true philly fans are down with Hinkie and realized the process worked.

    Landed them embiid, saric and Simmons.

    He was building the right.

    The reason why he’s not in Philly is purely politics and media coverage just bashing the guy saying he’s ruining the integrity of the game.

    He’s an analytics guy like Morey and saw the best odds of building a conteder was to suck for 4-5 years.

    Works in baseball and basketball imo.

    Not so sure about football we’ll see with the browns.

    He made the team at the bottom of the league unwatchable. That just wouldn't do for Adam silver. He had the good sense to listen to what the fans want and step in and make the team at the top of the league unwatchable .

    Hmmm.....sounds like a Philly leak to try and placate fans.

    "Hey, look, we're going after the EOY. And...he was Hinkie's boss."

    There may be one or two things about Morey that I'm not too fond of...but I'm damn glad the Rockets have him. So f**k off, Philly.

    they should just re-hire Hinkie.... now that his efforts are coming to fruition, you'd think those idiots in Phillie would realize they screwed up...

    If you were Morey and you were starving for a 1st round pick, would you trade yourself?

    Hinkie's been sounding like he'd come back ... to the Rockets, so Morey's plan may backfire while he's in Philly :

    I would be legit upset if Morey left. Him being the GM is one of the best things about the Rockets.

    Morey is hella tight with the media and using them to plant stuff.

    This was more of a warning shot to Tillman than anything.
