There was a collective sigh of relief around the city yesterday when the word got out that the Philadelphia 76ers were going to sign Daryl Morey as their new President of Basketball Operations.
After years of decisions being made by unknowns or incompetents, the team would once again have someone at the helm who could be trusted to analyze talent and not get fleeced in a trade. God forbid they not give away the farm every time they make a deal. Not only a sharp, respected basketball mind with experience, but Sam Hinkie’s former mentor, no less.
