Meanwhile, in Sin City Philadelphia.
Sixers general manager Daryl Morey is also back.
When he comes back, he will report to his boss.
However, the boss is very busy and will not always stay in Philadelphia.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that owner Josh Harris returned to Philadelphia.
After hearing that his boss was back, Morey quickly came to his office.
He reported to his boss with a gloomy face: "Boss, let me report to you the contents of this meeting."
Harris nodded: "You say."
Morey frowned and said: "The content of this meeting is about Wang Yi's salary next season not being included in the team's total salary."
"Boss, I think this is so nonsense. Wang Yi's salary is not included in the team's total wages. Then he can form a very powerful super Big Three. In addition, they still have salary space to sign very powerful players."
A strong role player. Then he may even form the strongest team in history."
"This will greatly damage the ecology of the league. When the time comes, other teams will not be on the same level as Wang Yi's team. This will greatly reduce the appeal of the NBA. This is not good for any team except
Wang Yi’s own team.”
Harris heard this and smiled slightly: "What if Wang Yi comes to our team?"
Morey shook his head: "Impossible."
Harris: "Why?"
Morey: "Because I'm here."
Harris: "What if I shoot you?"
Morey: "..."
Morey looked at Harris at this time, trying to see a hint of joking on the boss's face.
But Harris seemed serious.
Under normal circumstances, when Harris speaks seriously, he is definitely not joking.
Mo Lai couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
"Boss, why?"
Harris looked at Morey seriously: "Did you object to this proposal at the meeting?"
Morey nodded: "Yes."
The boss shook his head slightly: "This is the reason why I fired you. Your presence in the team will hinder my plan to recruit Wang Yi."
Morey was stunned: "Boss..."
He wanted to say something else, but the boss stretched out his hand and interrupted him:
"It is undeniable that you have contributed to the team over the years, and I will not treat you badly."
"I will give you a pension for retirement. But your presence will indeed affect my plan to recruit Wang Yi. You should know that as the owner, I want to make money, and if Wang Yi comes to the team, I will make money."
Get more money."
When Morey heard this, he was stunned for half a minute.
He never dreamed that he wanted to tell his boss to deny Xiao Hua's proposal when Xiao Hua called, but he didn't expect that the boss fired him first.
Damn it, this is so fucking ridiculous.
And all this happened just because of a guy from the East.
However, he was not willing to admit defeat like this.
"Boss, you also know that the reason why Wang Yi hates me is just because I made such remarks many years ago, but freedom of speech, is this wrong? I can even scold the president, why can't I make such remarks?"
Reese looked at Morey and sighed:
"You were once the general manager of the Rockets. When you took Yao Ming's train, Chinese fans had a very good impression of you. I thought you could seize this opportunity, but I didn't expect that you played your good cards to pieces."
"I thought you had woken up after so many years, but I didn't expect you are still stubborn to this day."
Morey is still stubborn: "The boss said so, do you also think that freedom of speech is wrong?"
Rhys shook his head.
He knew that it would be useless to tell Morey that "freedom of speech is right, but it cannot be unrestricted."
Someone must have said that to Morey over the years. If Morey could wake up, he would have woken up long ago.
So he changed his perspective:
"Freedom of speech is right, but when freedom of speech conflicts with interests, it is wrong. We are in a capital society, and what we are chasing is capital. This is determined by the laws of our society. You must contend with such laws
, then your only result will be failure.”
When Morey heard this, he seemed to have finally figured something out.
But he still wanted to make a final resistance: "Boss, even if you fire me, the possibility of Wang Yi choosing the 76ers is very small, even infinitely close to 0."
The boss looked at Morey and said solemnly: "Even if there is a chance, I will try."
When Morey heard this, he finally gave up.
He sat slumped on the sofa.
Although the boss can't bear it, he is a capitalist and he lives to pursue profits.
When there is a conflict between Morey and the interests he pursues, then it is natural to fire Morey.
And what he didn't tell Morey was that Wang Yi had a deep relationship with the Rothschild family.
If Wang Yi can join the team, then this will be a great opportunity to establish a relationship with the Rothschild family. The presence of Morey will have an impact on such opportunities, and Morey will naturally be fired without mercy.
Of course, Morey will never know this.
After Morey calmed down, Harris said:
"Daryl, there are only playoffs left this season. Your work is basically over. You can go home and rest. When I find a new general manager, you can hand over the work to him and then you can leave.
Of course, I will pay you every penny of your liquidated damages."
Originally, Morey's contract would not expire until the end of next season.
Now the boss wants to fire Morey ahead of schedule for Wang Yi's sake, even at the cost of more than 8 million US dollars in liquidated damages.
This made Morey completely give up.
He nodded and stood up.
Said "goodbye".
He left the office dejectedly.
His back looks as if he is 10 years older than when he first came in.
The boss also sighed when he saw this.
There is an old saying in China that he who knows the current affairs is a hero.
This Morey is so ignorant of current affairs.
Back then, when he was eating other people's food, but smashing their pots, people could no longer understand his operations.
As a result, more than ten years have passed and he still hasn't woken up.
Morey is a smart man, but his actions are too stupid on some things.
At the same time, that night, a reporter broke the news that the 76ers were going to fire general manager Morey.
Many people say this is groundless.
After all, Morey only has one year left on his contract with the 76ers, and there is no need to pay an extra $8 million for this year.
And Morey can be regarded as a hero for the 76ers. Although he failed to let the 76ers win the championship, he has worked diligently for the 76ers over the years and built a competitive lineup.
He has merit and demerits, so why should he be fired suddenly?
However, some good people have already gone to Philadelphia to inquire about it.

Chapter completed!
