I, for one, am completely shocked to find myself in a position to be able to write a piece about Daryl Morey, Sixers President of Basketball Operations.
After Morey sprung free from his 13-year partnership with the Houston Rockets, and then weeks went by with nary a whisper of any substantial interest in the exec on Philly’s end, I was sure that ship had sailed. The Sixers brass had spent the offseason leaking reports about how empowered General Manager Elton Brand finally was, and how big bad analytics were solely responsible for the team’s recent run of awful personnel decisions.
