0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>bonus episode recapping Darryl Morey's press conference held Tuesday June

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty second at the seventy six Ers training Complex. I'm

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Brian Seltzer, and this is the Scoop from the seventy

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>six Ers Podcast Network, presented by DraftKings for Tuesday June

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty second. You know, I mean I think you can.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're two days after you can tell it's

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a little ross though. I mean, like, I think you

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>replay that game seven a bunch of times and we

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>execute better and we win. But look the reality is reality.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>We didn't do it. And frankly, if we're squeaking by

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the second round, that just tells me we're not We're

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately not good enough probably to win the title. So

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>we need we need to get better. But you know,

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>that game, that series is still incredibly painful. Daryl Morey,

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>The emotions were still fresh forty eight hours later as

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>he addressed the media late Tuesday morning. You don't get

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of opportunities. I do think we put ourselves

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>in a very good opportunity to win the title this year.

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Didn't get it done. Doc did a really good job

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>talking to players yesterday and really everybody, and in his

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>remarks he challenged all of us to look at each

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of us in our role and how we can do better.

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>You know that starts with me, that starts with Elton

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in the front office. It's Doc and his staff and

0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>each of the players and what they can do better.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Just a week and a half ago, the Sixers like

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>their Eastern Conference semifinal series versus Atlanta two games to one. Unfortunately,

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>their game seven setback prevented them from advancing more He's

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>wrapping up his first season as president of Basketball operations,

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>and despite the sixers early exit from the playoffs, he's

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>still optimistic. We have a lot to build on. You know,

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we've got a you know, an MVP candidate, we've got

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>an All Star. We've got a player who should be

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>an All Star. We've got solid vets, we've got young

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>players pushing those vets. I had the great fortune to

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>work with Red arback in Boston early in my career,

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he Follis felt strongly that you want

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to have a structure like we have now, which is,

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously great top players, great veterans, but you

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>also have young players pushing those veterans for time. And

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that was a great dynamically of this year.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>There's no question the Sixers had an excellent regular season

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>forty nine wins, first time they earned the one seed

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>in the Eastern Conference it's two thousand and one. The

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>series with the Hawks, though, was tough. Jowell and beauteous

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>battling through his meniscus injury, and there were the turnovers

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>in Game seven. Tobias Harris had some ups and downs.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons felt he could have done a lot more.

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>We have an extremely good trio. I mean, you don't

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>get the one seed without having an extremely strong, you know,

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>top end players. In terms of what's the best next step,

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they give us just three tools, see how free agency, trade,

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and draft, and we're going to figure out how to

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>make the team better. What's next? That's the obvious question,

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>right where do Mori and the Sixers go from here?

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>The draft combines happening this week, the draft itself is

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>July twenty ninth, and free agency starts August second. Those

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>are some of the tent poles that will guide the

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Sixers path and the months ahead. Well, this is a

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>really good group that played at a very high level. Obviously,

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>part of my job is to self refract. You know,

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>read what others are writing because you and you can

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>learn from that, and you know a lot of what

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading, I frankly don't understand, you know, people saying

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers are in a bad situation. You know, I

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>don't choose to come here, doctor doesn't choose to come here.

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>If this is a bad situation. I mean, really, twenty

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>five or twenty six teams in this league would love

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to be in our our situation. We've got a good foundation.

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>We just have to do better. I have to do better.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Everyone has to do better. That's the bottom line. That's

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the challenge. And I can tell the to everyone in

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia that you know, there's gonna be a ton of

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>effort up and down from myself of the front office,

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff, and the players who are being challenged.

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, as we speak in meetings with Doc Rivers

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>on how they can get better as well. Borne has

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>been running NBA teams for nearly two decades between the

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Houston Rockets and now with the Sixers. He knows what

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to look for and expects the Sixers to make their

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>most dramatic improvements internally rather than externally. Obviously, we'd love

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to have all stars at every position, right like we

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>have to like see what's out there. We can't overreact

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to anything that just happened, but you can also can't underreact.

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.799
<v Speaker 1>If we go in with like we have to do acts,

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that doesn't work. You can't go in and

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>say well, we need exactly this if you if you

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>do that, you'll fail because you need a whole set

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>of options and then pick the one that optimizes your championship.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Ouds and I thought we did a good job not

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>great job at doing that last year, and we need

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:34.000
