Longtime GM of the Rockets Daryl Morey is now the new President of Basketball Ops for the Sixers.

Elton Brand is the GM. I mean he answers to Morey. Even though in Sac Monte McNair is the GM but everyone answers to HIM.

Side note: can teams please just figure out a universal title for all people that make the final front office decisions in the front office? Sheesh.

Before Morey’s hire, Philly was already thought of as a potential trade destination for the Kings. Now it gets even crazier. They say good relationships help make transactions, and you can’t have a better relationship than Morey and his former lieutenant McNair have.

This morning on the show, we talked about how perfectly Buddy Hield would fit alongside the most famous 3 point (non) shooter in the league, Ben Simmons.

You can listen to that conversation here (29:00 mark)

So here’s today’s project for you:

  • Go to Hoopshype.com and click “teams” at the top. Check the players and their salaries.

Post your suggestions in the comments below or send them to myself or the Sports 1140 KHTK Twitter account.

Happy Trading!
