Philadelphia’s Morey cautious in head coaching search

Joel Embiid couldn’t believe that the Philadelphia 76ers dismissed Doc Rivers. The Most Valuable Player winner had no role in his ex-coach firing, and the franchise president Daryl Morey shared that no basketball player in the team will part in hiring a new manager.

The Philly franchise has a lot of choices, as many head coaches who reached the NBA Finals are available. That is one of his arguments for Daryl to let go of Rivers after 3 straight years with 2^nd round eliminations and look for a recognized coach who can win the title with the franchise.

“We’re taking a cautious process with the manager,” the 76ers president shared today. “We do not think it will happen fast.”

Daryl Morey says Joel Embiid and James Harden were accountable in meetings after season about their production dipping at end of Game 6 and Game 7
