Bell Ringer Podcast: Daryl Morey deserves round of applause for Sixers moves

The Bell Ringer Podcast returns to give a round of applause to Daryl Morey for the moves he made for the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Bell Ringer Podcast returns on Thursday with another edition to discuss the bold moves made by new Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey during the 2020 NBA draft. Sixers Wire managing editor Ky Carlin welcomes Nick Friar of both Nets Wire and WEEI in Boston to discuss how these moves helped the Sixers move forward.

The team needed shooting and Morey was able to get some after moving Al Horford to the Oklahoma City Thunder and then Josh Richardson to the Dallas Mavericks. Bringing in guys such as Danny Green and Seth Curry are going to be pay dividends on the offensive end to make sure Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid have enough room to operate on the offensive end of the floor.

Also, the Sixers appeared to have hit on all three draft picks in Tyrese Maxey, Isaiah Joe, and Paul Reed to make for a great night for Morey and the Sixers.
