WEBVTT - The Scoop | Morey Talks Trade, Green Throws Flames in L.A.

0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brian Seltzer and this is the scoop from the

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers podcast network for Friday, March twenty six. There

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>was a game. It was a nice one O nine,

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>one O one seventy Sixers win over the Los Angeles

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Lakers at Staples Center. But the main course Thursday was,

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.639
<v Speaker 1>of course, the trade deadline and the Sixers were active.

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't the most dramatic deal today, but it was

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely a difference maker in a three team trade. The

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers got George Hill from the Oklahoma City Thunder and

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Ignis bruz Dacas from the New York Knicks. Hill, of

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>course the key addition a solid thirteen year veteran guard

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>who's got to handle a shot and can defend. The

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Sixers had to part ways with Tony Bradley, Terrence Ferguson,

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Vincent Pourier, and some future picks. Daryl Morey spoke about

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the swap Thursday night, shortly after the trade was finalized.

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Getting George's recent and range and plus shooting in strong

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>defensive package and it gives coach rivers options in different

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>way is different lineups he can play. George has also

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>had success starting a little bigger and smaller, so that

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>gives again some more optionality. George Hill played fourteen games

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>for Oklahoma City this season, averaging nearly twelve points per game,

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>before he suffered a thumb injury late in January. He

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't suit up for the Thunder again after that. He'll

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>led the NBA in three point shooting last year at

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>forty six percent, and he's been in the playoffs in

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>eleven of his twelve seasons. But perhaps one of the

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>most noteworthy implications of Thursday's move was what the Sixers

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't do. They opted to keep the core of the

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>second best team in the league intact. Doc said it best.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Doc loves his team, loves how we're playing.

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I love this team. I love how we're playing. You

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>feel very good about let the roster. We have our

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>chances to win the championship. And one thing that coach

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Rivers can do right now has put you know five,

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, strong, playoff tested guys who can play both

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>ends on the more at one time if they want

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to do that in crunch time. So we're pretty excited

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>about that. Exactly how the Sixers will use Hill is

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>something that Morey will leave up to Doc Rivers. So

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>far this season, there isn't much that Rivers has done

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 1>that's gone wrong. Morey gave his head Coach of the

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Year candidate a big shout out. You know, honestly, Doc

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Rivers has pushed every ripe button this year. You know,

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I wish, I wish there. I guess the lot's being

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>written now thankfully, but more should be written. Let the

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 1>job Doc Rivers and his staff has done. I mean

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>he's got every I mean literally, I challenge you to

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>find a player team not playing at their best of

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>their career. Doc's do an amazing job. You know, he

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>has options. I mean, I think he can go a

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of different ways, and all of them should

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>be pretty strong and hard to hard to beat in

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>a seven game series. It remains to be seen when

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Hill and brus Dakas will join the Sixers. Hill's expected

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to wear the number thirty three. Brus Dakas, a solid

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>G League player for the Westchester Nicks, will support the

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>number seventeen. Now, there was sill the games we played Thursday,

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers fended off the defending champs by eight.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>The story of the night it was this before Tip off.

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Both Dwight Howard and Danny Green got their twenty twenty

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>championship rings in a nice recognition at center Court. Then

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Green proceeded to go out there and light his former

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>squad up to the tune of twenty eight points. He

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>was eight for twelve from three, highlighted by the final

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.280

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Good Danny Green knocked it down. It's eight three in

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the game and the Sixers go up six with thirty

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>seconds to go. I'm glad I got a chance to
