Now that the dust has settled on the trade deadline, Daryl Morey may need to pop back out of the dugout for one more curtain call. The Sixers GM was the clear winner of the NBA’s transaction frenzy. For months, critics such as myself were collectively staring at Morey, waiting for him to do something with Ben Simmons while Joel Embiid played at an MVP level. Morey endured his struggle session, waited for a star to grow disgruntled, then emerged on a tarmac with open arms as James Harden walked off a private jet.
Daryl Morey Won. Now It’s Championship or Bust for the Sixers.
