Darryl Morey is a liar
and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of. Let me say that again:
DARYL MOREY IS A LIAR
AND I WILL NEVER BE PART OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT HE IS A PART OF
I REPEAT
DARYL MOREY IS A LIAR!
#A LIAR
u/dmorey fuck you bum
In the words of SnakeMan “he’s a idiot”
Darryl Morey is a bastard man
James harden could’ve told you that
I’m shocked at how good he is at hitting those deep threes, he feels automatic on the stepback.
Im still not used to it lol everytime its like “bro youre soo far from the lii… oh shit okay splash then”
Did Warriors fans ever get used to it?
I’m still not used to those crazy curry threes. Never will be those shots are insane
The deep threes arent the crazy ones for me. Its the split second pullups against 3 defenders that only curry shoots, and its not like its a dumb shot, he has perfect form too
Dude ya holy shit sometimes he just flicks and the ball just perfectly glides into the hoop no matter from where he was at or how many people were around him. Steph is crazy
Jr Smith was actually underrated at bad threes. He doesn’t get enough credit at being so good at them. He is another one to add to the list.
i dunno as a fan of an opposing team when he takes the deep ones im still like “ahh shit”
You just know he’s the only mf who has earned the audacity to try it without criticism lmao
Eh, Luka and Dame both have a permanent green light
I think ant now too
‘He is the pass’
Yeah I was gonna shout out Dame tbh but he’s kinda out of the mix rn. Luka still draining em like that in LA?
Depends on the night tbh.
Although I swear the dude is more likely to hit the most contested step back logo 3 of all time, but will CLANK an open one.
Non superstar name but Celtics fans absolutely do not care when Pritchard pulls from mega deep
Honestly Payton Pritchard too. He’s hit so many of them that I think it’s a good shot whenever he shoots it 5+ feet behind the line.
He gets an accuracy bonus if it’s the end of a quarter
Curry did some insane stuff that may never be duplicated.
Ehh, i have a feeling were gonna see some kid in 2038 or something average 60% from 3 in a season on like 10 attempts and people will try and crown him the goat shooter and old heads (us) will be like “you young kids never watched curry”
We’ll see it in 2028 and his name is Kon Knueppel
I’m still waiting for Curry to regress and it’s been over a decade.
It is still always mind boggling when curry and less so now klay shoot a crazy one, but when a crazy pull went up I started to expect it to go in because Steph is basketball Jesus
Not really. Knee jerk reaction is still wtf are you doing Steph
And he’s so so confident as well. It’s like he knows he’s going to shoot it and it’s going to fall before he even catches the pass. To be balling like this after getting traded mid season is crazy. Sold high though
It probably helps that it was the defending champs that traded for him. The guys seem to like him. And I’m sure the coaching staff have told him “we traded for you because we believe you can score, so get some shots up”.
Yeah been thinking about this for a while myself.
We’re obviously trying to become a more spacing oriented team and we’ve never been a bad shooting team, but besides Joe we haven’t really had a sniper on the squad.
Thunder do generate some great looks though, and someone needs to take those shots. Who better than a guy like McCain soaking those attempts for a bit to generate some space.
I’m still not convinced he can get playoff minutes but it’ll be interesting to see how Mark handles the rotations come playoff time.
I’d guess he was practicing those shots with maxey, given he was his vet, still a terrible trade that moved the needle backwards
How dumb are the 76ers for letting him go for peanuts smh 🤦♀️
This was literally what he was doing the first 20 games last year before he got injured, ran off ball like Steph and just hit every goddamn 3 he took. Yeah defense and all that, but offensively he’s so good.
I’m actually surprised with his defense. Here I was expecting lazy ass defense but the guy actually makes an effort. He is dependable ar least… He will grow those defensive skills here in OKC…
Morey is so special
I wonder if he even shopped McCain around for a trade or if he did a Nico and just called up the thunder and took their offer
Morey got more for Jared McCain than Trae Young, Cam Thomas, & Jeremy Sochan combined. The Nico comparisons are so dumb.
Why are Cam and Sochan in this lmao
Me and Cam Thomas went for the same value
Two of those guys were waived and the other is on a monster contract with a player option next year.
McCain is a 2nd year player who was the favorite for ROYT until he got hurt.
Late first round pick is meh when you realize that if you hit on it if you might get a guy as good as McCain
Morey already hit on a pick in the same range - Tyrese Maxey
That’s just what the Sixers need, another developmental project that will take 2-3 years to be a starter. Luckily we have a young center and a GM that has belief in the players he picks!
McCain is still a project - needs to better his defense and overall playmaking skills. Glad his shot is coming around though.
OKC’s roster can cover up for a lot of what he still needs to work on.
Obviously. The point is, why should the fanbase wait for another “project” pick when our GM trades his own picks after a year and a half? Especially when they showed promise already?
No one was giving up more than 1 first and 3 seconds for a small guard coming off a major injury who was barely playing lmao. Thunder have plenty of picks to spare, late picks obviously, and Mccain was a perfect fit for them
Maybe not, but you could have tried to get more out of us, given our warchest. Or just kept a really good player on a rookie deal.
These gms that are so worried about leaks are just selling low by not talking to other teams lol.
I mean also dumb that McCain is who Morey dumped to save money. He should have been part of their future.
The funniest thing about him is things he says to get him disliked never had to be said. He didn’t have to tell CP3 that he is not looking to trade him, he could’ve given a more neutral answer. He didn’t have to say he sold high on Mccain, he already shipped him.
Yep I think the consensus from Sixers fans is that this move was forced by our owner (pedophile Josh Harris) to get under the tax. Much less shit talk on Morey if he doesn’t say that, hell every single post about the trade references the sell high comment
I’m not saying that saying he “sold high” was the right response, nor am I trying to defend Morey. But the context that gets lost is that his quote was in direct response to being asked if they “sold low” on McCain. A “No” or talking about the logjam at guard would be the right answer, but he answered in a way a cocky GM who just traded a player would answer to that question.
It was, but there’s no way all of your other players are more valuable
Thanks for just handing him to us Philly, we love this guy.
Sixers fans also loved the guy. Don’t thank us. Thank Daryl Morey, Nick Nurse and Josh Harris
While we’re at it, what would Morey want for Maxey?
Luckily, too much
God damn it. Can I cut the Sixers and pick up OKC as my team?
F YOU MOREY & NURSE!!!! Fucking basketball terrorists.
Welcome aboard
Nurse sucks, Morey is a moron, and our billionaire owner (who’s in the Epstein files) ditched a top prospect to save some cash. This is great. Loving life.
Ditched McCain’s 4.2 mil over Grimes’s 8.7 mil when Grimes is expiring and is a UFA this off season and is a flight risk due to no pay raise/contract extension agreement.
We tried to warn y’all about Nurse man. Guaranteed he’s the next Doc Rivers
If you can handle the hate we get for being competent and playing hard
Tbf we gave up decent draft capital to get him but I’m glad we did
He’s better than the #25 pick and three average SRPs.
Besides, they may draft someone with those SRPs, waive him, and we can pick him up for free. Again.
Maybe for most teams, but we got Sam presti who drafted AJ, Wiggins, Jaylin all in the second round. He really believes in McCain which is meaningful
Even if you magically do hit on all of them, you guys STILL have 8 picks in the next 2 years after the trade. You simply had to, and still have to continue to consolidate them.
he also drafted dillon jones with a late first who wasn’t great.
lol I see what you did there #JoCain
Unless those seconds are Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell
or jwill
I mean we are a contending team, it’s nice to have so many draft picks but those are still unknown commodities.
Heck, our last two first round picks have played 5 games combined.
So it’s nice to see someone who can actually PLAY thanks to our draft picks instead of just looking at potential outlets.
You don’t have roster spots for all the picks. The trade was smart.
Exactly. As a GM if you see a player that’s currently in the league that can actually play, it’s okay to get rid of some of your picks.
Heck, we still have the Sixers pick for this draft, not to pile it on because of your flair but, yeah
Pile it on king
Pile on the Kings? Okay, they suck!
That was the first big difference that was noticeable for the Celtics when going from Ainge at the end to Stevens. Danny wanted to win trades as far as which side gained more assets.
Brad is fine trading away picks for proven players, and it led to a championship. He didn’t even draft a first round pick his first 3 years
I think Presti still likes to have some sort of draft capital, but even with that, McCain for us is basically a first round pick anyway, just with one year short when it comes to cost control.
He’ll still be here for 2.5 more years if we pick up his options. That’s basically the sweet spot for the current second apron era.
Also what Brad is doing with the likes of Hugo, Queta etc. Finding great players on the margins is this CBA’s specialty instead of superteams.
Danny wanted to win trades as far as which side gained more assets.
He still does this.
Trading future picks for players like McCain on rookie deals is exactly how Presti keeps this core together
We gave up a projected 25th pick and some seconds lol
We gave up the like 25th pick and some seconds for a real solid contributor right now lol we really didn’t give up enough for what we got
Yeah please don’t let your fellow thunder fans get out of line.. McCain was a having a ROY season last year, got hurt and the best team in the league got him for basically a second round pick… Yall gave up basically NOTHING to get another really good young player
The thunder have always had great young talent, contending teams, MVPs, great management, fun teams or tons of draft picks… you would think there would be a curse because of Seattle but it’s the luckiest franchise ever
even the “bad years” were promising and fun or you had good players you could trade for more assets . Don’t let other thunder fans feel anything other than lucky and blessed
But the draft is deep! You can get a guy as almost as good as McCain with that pick.!
Sixers handing out free JoeCain
You guys already have a blue print for using him with Isaiah Joe. Is Presti getting ahead of potentially trading Joe and/or McCain too good to pass up for what they got him for?
3rd 20 point game in a thunder uniform in only 11 games
second fastest player to reach 100 pts off the bench in the franchise history
Is Schroder the first?
Yep, Schroder did it in 7 games. JMac took 9 games.
Ousmane Dieng took 15 years to get to a century.
Presti and Daig’s faults. Just needed that Milwaukee green light
Has as much pts for us as Gordon Hayward did
i think i watched every single game that season and i still constantly forget gordon was on that team
Hayward got y’all Hartenstein tho, so I’d still say that trade worked out!
10th*
8-2 record. 14/3/1 splits on 50/43/89 splits
tonight was his 11th game here lol
McCain looks like the best scorer on the team not named Shai.
He is exactly what we needed especially with Ajay out
Ajay watching him from the trainers room: haha I’m in danger
Ajay is also a plus defender on a ridiculous contract. The only thing he should worry about is getting healthy.
different players and they are going to fucking ball out together.
Ajay is the ball handler, McCain waiting in the splash zone for the dish
Yea …. Keep going …
bang!
I can’t wait to see them on the court together, maybe even with Shai or dub
?? They dont play the same roles at all they help each other actually
It’s a nasty bench
How Morey is still employed is beyond me
Harden hard carried this dude’s career.
He’s still living off that trade and realizing it’s better to take 3s and shots at the rim before 28 other teams realized it
Lying to a guy that made his career is also kind of fucked up, ungrateful bitch is who he is
We have a PDF as an owner who doesn’t gaf about the Sixers
He who controls the files, controls the billionaires.
One file to rule them all, One phile to find them, One file to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
The Doc Rivers of the GM world sans the NBA title.
Also Doc seems to be a great guy outside of basketball, whereas Morey is a douche.
You don’t think the cheap ass owner forced this trade?
Lying gets you a long way.
If Sam Presti calls you about a trade, you exchange pleasantries about the weather and family and then you hang the phone up.
Hornets turned the lukewarm corpse of Gordan Hayward into Coby White (Hayward>Micic>Nurkic>Sexton>Coby) and picked up trade capital along the way.
Still wasn’t a “loss” for the Thunder because Presti was just trying to make cap space.
Man I kinda miss the mini-Thunder Hornets. Was fun to poke in and see what Micic/Mann/Poku/Bertans were up to.
Yup. We got Isaiah Hartenstein out of Hayward’s shell.
I think Philly has been down 40 to the Spurs most of the night while this is going on.
Down 46 right now makes it better
Dude I like OKC but praying on your downfall for this
Whole sub is though so it’s nothing new. I actually like the 76ers. Just not morey and josh
They are short handed too, could’ve really used McCain’s service tonight.
Maybe they will lose by 30 instead of 50.
No Embiid will do that. I would literally traded anyone else on the team and unironically “sell high” on Maxey.
daryl morey can suck my balls
You should be sucking his for giving you a great young player for barely anything
just ignore wats happening to the sixers rn, honestly morey probably did him a favor lol
Trading anyone to the title favorites is a favor tbh
Honestly… can we just trade everyone to teams that actually give a shit? We’ve already completely wasted Embiid, let the youngins have a chance. I’m just disgusted.
At least we beat the Knicks in MSG though, that was cool.
That boy can shoot
Sold while high on crack- Daryl morey
Poor embiid has to carry this dogshit ass franchise after he begged them to get better at the deadline and morey’s dumb ass did the opposite to spite him
Morey and Josh Harris are in the Epstein files
Jmac gets so much lift on his jump shot
it’s a little unfair he went to the reigning champs lmao Jared McCain is too talented. I still fully believe he would have won ROY concretely had he not gotten injured. His offball movement is my favorite skillset of his.
JoeCaine strikes again
Sixers fans look away.
No, let them watch. They need to learn
They’ve already learned, unfortunately. No need to twist the knife.
No we don’t, we learned a long time ago. Our front office however has not.
Okay Darryl Morey
Morey should get fired for this trade alone
As fun as it is to clown on Morey, this trade was almost certainly pushed by the guy who would be firing him so Philly could dodge the tax.
The “sold high” comment was unnecessary though and has aged very poorly.
Sixers could have used him tonight
Morey is a goofball
meanwhile the Sixers tonight
Morey extended a potential dynasty window another 10 years good for him
My glorious dance king
Thanks morey for Joecain
Fuck Morey. Fuck Harris.
Not sure why Morey gets praised at a top GM lmao.
My boy looks like a kid who was custom made for this team’s culture
Lightning McCain ka-chow
Of all teams why OKC. If I were a gm I just wouldn’t trade with them unless it’s an extreme overpay in picks. They are too good and set up for the next 7 years minimum, all they’re doing is extending that even more. Trade with literally any other team
Everyone say Thank you Daryl Morey
I still don’t understand. Like I’ve watched this kid from day one because of Grimes, without injuries he would already be flirting with stardom right now.
I’m a pretty big Morey defender, like I feel that he has been dealt some pretty shitty hands and it’s crazy his Rockets couldn’t get over the hump.
… but this is a fireable offense. They got a legit steal outside the lottery in the worst draft of the past 15 years, and he trades him for a ham sandwich to the best team in the league.
Shooting was like litterally their only weakness. Why would someone do this deal with Presti?
i wanna punch morey in the face for every point McCain scores from here on out
I just enjoy how there was some moron on the sub that said he was like 2-6 in his debut game and commented to every user “he’s 2-6” over and over again. I wonder how that guy is doing now
Maybe Morey was on to something
He coulda scored 40 for the sixers tonight and it wouldn’t have made a difference for them
I love me some JMc
I fuckin love this guy!
Guys ive been saying he is like if you dropped steve nash into 2026
I mean… he’s not that kind of playmaker.
Sixers fucked the west
Mr 305
Mr Sold High
Dalé!
This is the most I’ve hated the 76ers in years.
Why did they give him away to the reigning champs lol
Can’t believe we got him lmao
Of all the teams to give this guy away too, giving him to OKC for nothing is just offensive. Like there was no rebuilding team that coulda used him?!?
Morey is a fucking moron
Stop they’re already dead!!
Philly could’ve used someone like him tonight
Our Filipino prince
Meanwhile 76ers just got eviscerated by the Spurs lmao
Insane the Sixers gave up on him so quick. He was gunning for RoTY before his injury. Hope he stays healthy and has a great career.
Man, we gonna be seeing this headline for the next 10 years
morey is a moron
tRuST THe pRoCEsS
I’m tired boss
Daryl next time u in Oklahoma drinks on me king
Daryl Morey meant to say he was high when he made the trade, his PR team just tried to make it sound better
Who knew trading a sophomore player who was slumping off a major injury could backfire so quickly.
Same night the 76ers lose by 40. Poetic
Daryl the most retrded GM after Nico was fired
Morey really just handed the Thunder a repeat, huh?
Meanwhile the Spurs just put BTA on the sixers tonight lmao
Game high!
Morey always be lying.
Straight MABL ass.
fuck d morey
