Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse will be back next season:

I’m shocked both are returning. I thought heads would roll after such a shitty season, but apparently not. Daryl must’ve had a presentation for the ages to convince the owners to keep him around or Josh Harris doesn’t care about the Sixers now that he’s got a shiny new toy in DC. Who knows.

All I know is I’ve thrown this Hail Mary once or twice:

Girlfriends that wanted to break up, jobs that wanted to fire me, teachers that wanted to fail me before high school graduation so I couldn’t walk. Somehow I convinced them all it wasn’t the time to give up on me. Whatever you have to do to survive in that moment you do. Typically they’d get 1-2 more weeks out of me and then it all goes to shit again. Credit to Daryl for throwing a prayer at the buzzer to keep his job. If the Sixers are dumb enough to believe it why not do it? Personally I’m over him. He already thinks we’re idiots. How am I supposed to take anything he says seriously after he said they were a championship team post-trade deadline?

Now obviously they shut down their three best players for the season, which contributed to that 4-28. It was still mindless to say at the time. Everyone knew Joel Embiid was injured and Paul George was a shell of himself. It was all lip service. Daryl Morey thinks you’re an idiot. He’s talking about getting younger while in the same breath saying they had to extend Embiid to get George to sign.


Two aging and injured veterans now here for the foreseeable future locking up the majority of cap space:

The fit makes sense in the metaverse, but in reality the injury concerns these two have had did and still do not.

Does any Sixers fan really trust the team to develop a bunch of league minimum and mid-level exception guys to offset two of their star player’s injury management? Does any Sixers fan trust that Embiid and George will be 100% next year like Morey claims? Who says some team doesn’t give Quentin Grimes a huge offer, the Sixers match, and now you’re losing even more valuable cap space for a guy who played well for 30 games? All valid questions Daryl doesn’t think idiot Sixers fans wouldn’t ask because he thinks we’re idiots.
