CAMDEN, N.J. -- Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey says he has "hope" of a reconciliation between star Ben Simmons and the Sixers, pointing to the Aaron Rodgers situation in Green Bay as proof that things can turn around between a team and its disgruntled star.
"I think there's a lot of hope," Morey said Monday morning during his season-opening news conference alongside coach Doc Rivers. "I would say I watched last night a player lead his team to victory when a thousand pounds of digital ink were spilled on how much he would never play for that team again.
