Daryl Morey, President of Basketball operations for the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, has taken no time piecing together what he believes is an NBA championship roster.
After getting eliminated by the New York Knicks in last years playoffs, Philadelphia looks to come back with more firepower than ever before, adding the ‘missing piece’ in another NBA superstar, and other complimentary pieces, to puzzle together to fit the dynamic duo of MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star Tyrese Maxey.
Although we can collectively agree James Harden became undesirable in Philadelphia, we must admit the shock value off adding another dynamic player to the fold could shift things for Philly. Well Daryl has done it again, waking us up wishing for the start of the season, with even more anticipation than ever before.
