Grading every Daryl Morey Move as the Sixers GM

2020 NBA draft: Maxey, Isaiah Joe, BBPaul. Carried by goofy Covid year. A+

Al Horford and a 1st for Danny Green: B+ but ultimately irrelevant bc Dg was only good for one year

Lots of 2nds for George Hill: F, useless player

2021 NBA draft: Drafted Jalen Springer. F, anyone with a brain and two eyes could see Jaden springer does not have an nba skill set , drafted over Dayron sharpe, Santi Aldama, miles mccbride, herb jones

Niang, Danny Green, Korkmaz to multiyear contracts: only Niang is ok and he still sucks

Ben Simmons for James Harden -- A but irrelevant bc he eventually lies to harden and we lose him for basically one first round that might not even be good anymore

Matisse and a second for Jalen McDaniels:
F most irrelevant trade of all time, Matisse actually had value at the time, Knicks got Josh hart in the same trade basically for Matisse thybulle and a bad first

1st rounder for Deanthony Melton A, the only good marginal move he ever made

signed PJ Tucker, Danuel House, Montrez Harrell, F, also lied to James harden for this F-, got investigated for tampering, F - -

Fired Doc Rivers, hire Nick Nurse. D, basically got the same exact coach.

Signed Mo Bamba, PatBev, Paul Reed, Danny Green, Kelly Oubre: C, Kelly is ok, and was on a good contract but everyone else? F

James Harden for 2 firsts and Batum: D, the Cavs got Darius garland out of James harden and we just got one year of batum and a first round pick that has already lost a ton of value

Traded for Buddy Hield, Cam Payne, signed Lowry. This was the best we could do? If we didn’t do the awful gap year maybe we could have gotten something out of embiids last good year where he averaged 33 in the playoffs

Drafting mccain and Bona: A😀 also Bona sucks

Paul George, Caleb Martin, Yabusele, Drummond, Oubre, Eric Gordon, Kyle Lowry, Reggie Jackson. F
Yabu was good but it didn’t matter, Paul George obvious F worst contract in the league, if you were going to sign him at least don’t sign him for 5 years

Caleb Martin for grimes: C, we thought it would be good but it turns out that grimes is just as unplayable as Caleb Martin when actually matters.

Drafting VJ: A+, but also just lucky given the track record

Signing Barlow, Jabari Walker, Trenton watford and more useless players: D Barlows ok,but still pretty unplayable.

Avoiding paying grimes: A

Johnni broome: F, one pick behind kalkbrenner, ahead of maxime raynaud

Trading McCain: F-, a scummy salary saving move that will put the franchise back years. Bonus: claimed to have sold high on McCain, McCain instantly becomes a valuable bench piece for the best team in the league

Bonus F for letting Joel play in the Olympics.

It’s clear that Morey has a terrible eye for rotational pieces. Every year he has traded for someone who looked like they had good stats, George Hill, Buddy Hield, Jalen McDaniels, they completely flop because they were just putting up decent stats on terrible teams. Clearly his AI models don’t take anything into context. Thats why our playoff rotation ended up being 6 men deep with a sixth man in Grimes who ended up being worse than nearly everyone Knicks bench player. The only reason we have VJ is because we managed the season terribly and then got extremely lucky in the draft. Fire Morey. Also Daryl Morey is a liar.
