The Philadelphia 76ers have extended Daryl Morey. The team made it official Friday afternoon.
In this writer’s humble opinion, it’s a fantastic move by Josh Harris, David Blitzer and the rest of the team’s ownership group. I find it difficult to come up with a better-suited exec to run the show over the next several years. Morey’s resume stacks up with the best of the best, and it’s far greater than perhaps dozens of executives possessing championship rings; even though he doesn’t have one...yet.
The fact of the matter is that Josh Harris’ best three moves as an owner were hiring Sam Hinkie (who blew up a mid-level-at-best team) which made it possible for him to draft Joel Embiid, reportedly negotiating the Jimmy Butler trade himself, and, seven years later, hiring Daryl Morey.
