Some news: my time with ClutchPoints and the Sixers beat has ended. It's a decision I made myself but not one I make easily. I'm gonna miss it. Covering this team the past 3 years included some wild ups and downs. It's given me friendships and amazing memories for a lifetime.

I think those Jubilee videos do more harm than good by platforming some dangerous and outrageous opinions (and even good debates or talking points most likely don’t really change anyone’s mind) That said……I really do wanna watch the Skip Bayless episode they just did

This Morey quote is really sticking with me “Are we somewhat indexed to talented players who are a little bit more injured? Yes. But that's why we need to have a younger, deeper roster around them...” This should have been the theme last summer!! We all knew PG and Embiid were major injury risks!!

Daryl Morey said there’s “a good chance we’ll take someone” if they keep their 1st rounder and that they’ll pick the best player available. But he also reiterated that the pick is “a tool to upgrade the team” (i.e. they could use it in a trade)

Daryl Morey said the poor results in the games Embiid, Maxey and PG played together (7-8 record, -0.9 net rating per CTG) was mostly because of injuries. Mentioned how they didn’t finish multiple games and some others included a first game back from injury

Daryl Morey: “Tough season. Not where we expected to be.” Said he knows the Sixers let fans down + that missing 134 games from their All-Stars due to injury really set them back. Added that he feels good about the Embiid-Maxey-PG trio and he has to build a better supporting cast
