    Seriously though, I can't see us ever bringing back Daryl.

    I would take Nick Nurse over Udoka in a heartbeat though.

    1. POR hires Ben Sullivan
    2. Rockets trade KD to POR and takes back Henderson

    Morey signed Embiid to a horrific extension and gave Paul George an albatross deal as well

    that Sixers roster is cheeks from the non-existent bench to the starters

    keep his lying, deceitful ass far away from here

    Yes - for sure.

    However, I would like Morey for once to be allowed to rebuild.

    Consider that Morey has had very limited picks since joining the Rockets and he has drafted Maxey and Edgecomb.

    Nurse is much more balanced than Udoka. He is okay when he has enough healthy talent. He's had to coach some injury-ravaged teams.

    I would want to see what Splitter could do with this team though.

    I would take Embid’s albatross contract if they included Maxey for Sengun, KD, and 1 Frp (not Nets). Would Morey?

    Morey would for sure give up the farm for Giannis…I have no doubt

    then think he can fill the rest of the roster with aging players on vet minimums

    he’s never met a star/superstar he wouldn’t lust after

    Of course not.
    It is absurd to suggest they would move Maxey.

    The Morey way is to grift for roster upgrades around stars. He will hope Embiid is healthy to start the year, and look to move him OR have a regular season schedule management that might see him available in the playoffs for 20mpg.
    Either way, he won't give up his best player. Instead he will use whatever resources he can to add around Maxey

    Depends on what the owner wants - but I don't think so.

    Daryl in danger, but Elton Brand is still techncially the GM. :D

    And is Tad Brown safe too?:cool:. He left the Rockets to also go over there.

    it’s the beard. Things started to go bad for Morey as soon as he started growing that beard. He can’t pull it off. He still looks like the guy who plays D&D on the weekends. ;)

    I think the talent that was picked was good. But the development mediocre. So they should address that with their assistant coaching staff. Picking talent is only half the battle. Yo Jo!

    My only really gripe on the the talent picked, is the lack of "luck" in not getting a #1 pick to get a North Star. So, the Rockets need to keep drafting and picking guys.
