This guarantees that Brand won't get fleeced in anymore trades, and that there will be a cohesive plan going forward. Gotta say, i love it. Morey and Doc over Brett Brown and Elton??? YES PLEASE!!

Morey and Doc feels like the grown up version of Hinkie and Brett.

Gotta give Josh Harris credit, he didn't have to spend the money to bring in 2 big fish like Doc and Morey, but he did.

I thought the Sixers would be out on the fringes after this season, but I guess they are desired around the league. In like an instant, these two moves have become the easiest part of the process so far. Next level in a flash

He’s trying to use the franchise to redevelop a chunk of the city. He needs it to be good in order to have the pull to get that done.

Pompey: Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Sam Cassell will be added to Doc Rivers’ staff with the #Sixers, according to sources. That was the expectation if he didn’t get a head-coaching gig.

The amount of basketball knowledge he Sixers have added is truly impressive.

Yup, won't be able to blame coaching this year if they still play dumb.

Apparently Morey cost the NBA 200 million.

all of this coming together and seemingly backwards is so beautiful and honestly didn't expect it. really thought for morey to come into play was that if the sixers spun their wheels again AND if morey were still available.

i think sixers ownership is bad and consisting of horrible people, but this was a fantastic move.

Assuming doc and Paul are good working together again (there is a lot of history there), I really think we get Paul. Listening to old Lowe pod with Tim McMahon (HOU beat) the latter said Morey was Paul’s biggest proponent but both Harden and Fertitta his “bosses” pushed for Westbrook
