Embiid, Simmons and Fultz: Can this trio lead the post-Process Sixers?

The Sixers had initially gone big-game hunting, and a number of veteran general managers had reached out through intermediaries to inquire about what was now the most coveted executive opening in the NBA. Discussions with Rockets GM Daryl Morey were "pretty far down the road," according to a source close to the process, but Morey elected to remain in Houston.

That would've been juicy

 

Morey leaving Houston for Philly, especially if it was in like September, would have been peak bantz

 

would have been peak ryan adams avi guy being like “well, actually, morey was holding the team back brb while i pray to the god of james harden again”

 

I saw lots of people say he looked bad in pre season so I’m confused by the extension

 

Morey is a great GM, what a weird take above

That would’ve been a blow

 

I’ll get back to that Turner contract in like two years.

 

Also Nerlens Noel kicks himself again

 

Pray for Wes

 

I would expect that the $80 million number includes incentives. I’ll be curious to see what the final details look like.

 

Ouch. Woj undercutting Shams.

 

Westbrook is listed as out for tomorrow. And Adams is questionable

 

Need Pritchard to @ Shams: “what contract extension?”

 

@primavera @Drew Beringer

 

I'll take those Kelsey Plum Kyrie 4's. Good shoe, clean colorway. Kuzma and De'Aaron Fox's Kobes are pretty nice too.
