But to your point, usually a GM may want his own coach.
He won't get rid of Nick Nurse, but it might mean the leash on Nurse is pretty short.
But as far as Daryl Morey,
Yeah, the Embiid contract completely, I mean, he had to go.
And Darryl's been a good executive, obviously, in the league, in Houston.
He's been a good executive.
But that contract, I'm sorry, there was no reason to give Joel Embiid this three-year, $193 million extension that begins this year.
Joel Embiid is done as a franchise player.
I know he's great when he plays,
And 75% of the time he plays, he's at 75%, right?
Physically, he might give you a handful of games a year where he's 100%.
So you just can't count on him.
You'd love to move him.
But with that contract, I rarely say anybody is untradeable because we've seen some doozies in the history of the NBA.
But I think that's about as untradeable a contract as you could have, even as great as Embiid is, because you think Anthony Davis is injury prone.
I mean, it's nothing compared to Embiid.
So the Sixers are stuck.
You mentioned to Paul George, two years, $110 million.
They are stuck in the middle.
It's going to be hard for them to get better.
