The reigning NBA Executive of the Year will not be lured away from MVP James Harden to join Rookie of the Year Ben Simmons as Marc Stein of The New York Times reports general manager Daryl Morey will not leave the Rockets for the 76ers.
According to Stein, Philadelphia had significant interest in getting Morey to replace former general manager Bryan Colangelo, but Morey wouldn't leave Houston. A Sixers team spokesman would not comment on the team's general manager search to Stein.
The Sixers have been without a general manager since they agreed to part ways with Colangelo June 7 amid a scandal involving burner Twitter accounts that were controlled by his wife and were disclosing sensative team information.
