Daryl Morey Greets James Harden as Superstar Lands in Philadelphia

Daryl Morey and James Harden are reunited once again after Philadelphia’s president of basketball operations pulled off a blockbuster trade for the ages before Thursday’s deadline.

Morey and Harden worked together for eight years in Houston when Morey served as the general manager of the Rockets. And nearly a decade after poaching Harden from Oklahoma City, Morey landed the former MVP via trade on Thursday as Ben Simmons went to Brooklyn. It appears as though both Morey and Harden are excited to rekindle their partnership as Harden landed in Philadelphia on Saturday.

Morey’s excitement in landing Harden is understandable.
