I don't see it unless he basically wants to rebuild what the Bucks have with Simmons and 4 shooters.

I can totally see him trading for Harden and putting shooters around him and Embiid.

People forget the other aspect of Moreyball is getting dunks and layups.
Moreyball is anti-post ups and pro-small ball too, so I think that Embiid is the one who's more likely going to be the odd one out. And unless the Rockets plan on scoring the Earth and starting over, it's hard to see a scenario where Harden ends up in Philly alongside Embiid, as there's 0% chance the Rockets want a Ben/Russ pairing, which means a third-team would need to get in (like the Warriors) to send picks to the Rockets, in exchange for Ben.

Moreyball is more likely to end in the departure of Embiid than Ben. You can put the ball in Ben's hands and have him generate offense with a spread-floor of 3-pt shooters, but you can't do the same with Embiid. Regardless, it's hard to see both of them on the squad come the start of the season.
You still going with that Embiid to GS ?:patrice:

Looks like you're going to be a Warriors fan next season. Just imagine all the room Biid will have to play with. No more double-teams.

:whoo:

I’m rooting for them from a distance right now solely because of Wiggs but Ben is my favorite player in the league. Morey gonna finally get him some shooters...:wow:

Hate the move. Morey is strictly an analytics guy and at times his thinking outside the box works against him. He has to realize that the analytics stuff you got away with in Houston wont work in Philly.
