[Mizell] Daryl Morey opening media day by saying there is “excitement” and “optimism” internally. “We have the MVP of the league. We have one of the great up-and-coming players in the league (Maxey).” But adds: “I understand there’s a lot of skepticism out there right now.”

> Daryl Morey then addresses the **James Harden** situation.
>”He continues to seek a trade and we are continuing to work with his representation to find the best solution for the 76ers and all parties.”
> Morey: “In terms of a trade, I will continue to work on those fronts and, if he’s here, then coach will work with him on the court. I think it’s pretty straight forward.”
> When asked if James Harden will be fined for not being here, Morey says he will be treated “like every other player under the rules of the CBA.”

> Nick Nurse was asked about unlocking Tyrese Maxey and said that having the ball more will give him more of chance to establish pace, read defenses and create offense. Said getting those reps is key.
You think so Daryl? What gave you that idea?
This just in, guy in charge thinks he’s doing a good job. More at 11.
I feel so bad for Nick Nurse given what has happened to the team since he signed with them.
Go back to caring about nfts, you fraud.
Thanks Daryl very cool.
Keep collecting that yearly 10 million paycheck
I’m keeping receipts on all this Morey hate for next offseason.
I’m not saying he’s above criticism but I’m seeing people act like he’s not been exploring every avenue possible to spin gold from the pile of shit and so far, he’s done better than I think most would. Harden trade bit us (though I personally think that has more to do with Harden than anyone else) but there was unanimous support of that trade when it happened. I won’t respond to any Halliburton rebuttals either, every info source indicates that was never on the table.
This season isn’t ideal but nothing about this team has been since well before Morey took the reigns.
Also, fully agree that teams like the Celtics and Heat have lost some very important guys this offseason, regardless of who they’ve added. Those kinds of roster overhauls are very unpredictable, so we’ll see how it goes. Could end up very differently for them than this past season. The only team that indisputably got better is Milwaukee. They’re a monstrosity to overcome now but anything can happen.
I’m staying hopeful and looking forward to enjoying some NBA ball this season, regardless of what happens.
So Embiid and not even a top fifty player in the league. Sweet, I’m glad that’s our plan.
We also have Tobias “Dead Eye” Harris
Who’s excited for this shit.
From “it’s only July wait until you see what our roster looks like to start the season” to this comment is sad…
