SEPT. 21 DARYL MOREY ONE OF BEST EVER? The New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers arguably had the best offseasons in the Eastern Conference, in addition to the Boston Celtics re-signing their players and securing Jayson Tatum's services for the long term. Daryl Morey recently received high praise after the 76ers signed Joel Embiid to a three-year, $193 million contract extension.
During an episode of ESPN's NBA Today, Kendrick Perkins took the wheel to crown Morey for his efforts and complimented Embiid for earning the deal. “When I first heard this news, the first thing I thought about is that Daryl Morey is a bad mother-holy bleep..
. He’s one of the best [GMs] I’ve ever seen," Perkins said . The 76ers look to avenge their first-round playoff loss to the Knicks during the 2024 playoffs.

After obtaining the rights to their 2025 first-round pick, the Nets have no reason to make the 2025 playoffs, especially with Cooper Flagg as the grand prize for a terrible season.
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Nets signed Killian Hayes to an Exhibit 10 deal. The New York Knicks' "rivals" are giving the 2020 lottery pick a second chance in the NBA after four let-down seasons with the Detroit Pistons. Hayes averaged eight points on 27 percent shooting from behind the 3-point line.
