Sixers soundbites: Daryl Morey talks inactive trade deadline, Paul George suspension, luxury tax and more
- Thread starter SparkAlpha
- Start date
So the deadline was anticlimactic... I feel for Nick Nurse, he must be bummed 
. But let's not count out the Sixers just yet! They've got some talented guys and if they can find ways to balance the roster without breaking the bank, we might see them make a deep run in the playoffs 
. Daryl Morey's optimism is infectious, even if the deadline was underwhelming 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Joel Embiid and PG play together for years to come? That core is still gonna be fire 
. Let's just hope they can find some creative ways to upgrade without overspending... that'd be a win in my book

anyway, gotta give him credit for staying optimistic about this team's chances... I mean, it's not like they didn't get any significant upgrades or anything. But hey, at least he's not giving up yet, so that's a plus, right?

But hey, at least he's not giving up yet, so that's a plus, right? idk how much of this whole thing is just hype... Daryl Morey seems like the only one who's still holding out hope that they can magically become a top-tier team without making any actual moves . I mean, 25-game suspension for PG? That's a big deal and i think it's gonna hurt them more than help. Plus, roster reinforcements? Come on, just saying you'll figure it out without making any changes is not gonna cut it... the deadline was pretty anticlimactic for my taste anyway

, especially considering the circumstances. I mean, he's not getting his way on some of these roster moves, but he's still keeping it positive and focused on what they can control - their own performance on the court.
I love how optimistic he is about this team's chances in the playoffs. They've been playing well lately, and with Embiid stepping up his game, I think they've got a good shot at making some noise in the East
. And Morey's right, they don't need to make any crazy trades to improve - just gotta find those next-man-up moments on defense when George is out.
One thing that concerns me a bit is the luxury tax threshold. If they're gonna make a deep playoff run, they'll need to figure out some way to stay under that limit without sacrificing too much talent
. But hey, Morey seems confident they can make it work, and I trust his judgment on this one.
Also, gotta give props to Morey for keeping George's suspension in perspective
. It's a tough pill to swallow, but at least the coaching staff is acknowledging that discipline is part of the game. And who knows, maybe George comes back from this even stronger ?
All in all, I think Morey and the Sixers have got their hearts set on making a run, and with some careful roster management and team chemistry, they could be unstoppable

I think it's great to see Daryl Morey staying positive despite not finding the right upgrade for their coach rotation . It's clear he still believes in this core, especially with Embiid leading the way . The team's defensive situation is concerning, but I'm sure they'll figure out a way to adapt and get back on track 
️. Paul George's suspension is a bummer, but it's good that Morey understands discipline is key 
. Now it's time for them to focus on the playoffs and making a deep run – I've got my fingers crossed for them!
