“I don't trust” 76ers “Daryl Morey after viral AI comments

One can say with certainty that Marcus Morris Sr. is the greatest fan of Philadelphia 76's president of basketball operations Daryl Morey.

Morey made waves during an interview with Pablo Torre when he suggested that his front office used artificial intelligence to help with the decision -making process. That didn't fit Morris so well, given his comments during a conversation with NBA Insider Kevin O'Connor

“I don't trust Daryl Morey,” said Morris. “I just don't trust him. I think he thinks too far ahead of how basketball has to be played. He tries to make a completely new team. He tries to bring in boys. He turns them into and out into and out into and out. He understands that the dynamic of being in Philadelphia first and the boys that you need in Philadelphia how the team needs the team.

“What does Ai do? I understand the effects that it can have in other places, maybe the offensive and the numbers and such things.

It should be noted that Mory has made it clear that AI is not the only driving force for the 76 in a decision -making process.

Rather, he explained: “We use models in every decision absolutely as a vote. How much depends on this decision how much the assumptions behind these models do not change and their past success rates.”

He also said, “We will almost treat you like a scout.”

Morris' relationship with James Harden could also affect his opinion while he continued and said: “You tell my husband Jh (James Harden) that you will do something for him. A man you have brought from all these teams, and then you don't know – as the AI ​​tells him that he shouldn't pay James Harden this money?”

Harden's relationship with Morey and the 76s became angry last season before the team exchanged him against the Los Angeles Clipper. Morris was part of this trade and came to Philadelphia from LA before the 76 exchanged him against the Indiana Pacers.

Morris finished the 2023-24 campaign on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Harden said Morey was a “liar” before the 76 finally exchanged him. However, he certainly did not always feel so much about the president of the 76 and saw how they were also on the Houston Rockets in Philadelphia before their time.

Morey was 13 seasons in Houston's front before he was in the last five campaigns at the 76s. While his teams do not have to win a championship, as Morris emphasized, they were consistently playoff.

However, this season was a disappointment in Philadelphia because the club has to do with injuries and poor performance. There are 23-45 and six games outside of the last place in the Play-in tournament of the Eastern Conference.

There will certainly be no run for the NBA final this season, which means that the only AI that helped the 76s to reach the largest stage in basketball remains all IVERSON.
