    This pisses me off more than it probably should. There is not justice in this world where Morey gets rewarded like this.

    Any hope for Simmons this summer just took a large hit. It was a long-shot at best, but it needed BRK and PHI to not come to a deal.

    Wow!!! What a blockbuster. I think this trade makes a Nets/Sixers ECF very likely and incredibly entertaining.

    How is this a reward? He's giving up 2 picks and Curry for a questionable Harden. He could have had CJ and picks for much less, months ago.

    Curry was their best shooter off the bench. Drummond was a nice backup .

    Harden has a ceiling of being a top 5 player. I really hope this blows up for him and Harden gets fatter but the narrative now is that Morey was proven right. And that pisses me off.

    I want so badly for the Embiid-Harden experience to blow up.

    The last time Morey tried to pair Harden with an elite big man, it ended very badly for them. I feel bad for Embiid. He deserves better than this.

    Yeah his mental issues had to do with a toxic work environment. So I'm sure a huge load is off of his shoulders.

    I guess that may be the narrative, but it's only one perspective. IMO, the narrative could just as easily be that Morey torpedoed his best trade asset's value, and had to attach multiple other pieces to it in order to salvage something. The idea that he won somehow shouldn't be considered unless Harden actually elevates the Sixers, which is questionable.

    I like the trade better for the Nets. Harden hasn’t won shit in his career for a reason
