Per Philly Voice<\/a>, “People should buckle in. This is going to take a long time,” Morey said.<\/p>\n“You’re going to think I’m kidding, I’m not, this could be four years,” Morey said. “The conditions I’m pointing out to you don’t change. Unless Ben Simmons is traded for a difference-maker, we’re in the prime of Joel [Embiid]’s career. We have to get back either Ben Simmons playing well for us, who helps us win the championship, or we have to get back a difference-maker for Ben Simmons. Or this could be four years from now, and we’re still like, ‘Hey, we took the best shot at it we could.’<\/p>\n
“This could be four years. This is not day-to-day. Every day, we’re going to expect Ben Simmons to be back here, or we’re trading him for a difference-maker. There’s no other outcome that doesn’t materially hurt our chance to win the championship in Joel Embiid’s prime.<\/p>\n
“We would want him to play and be back starting tomorrow. But if he chooses to take some other path, that’s his choice.”<\/p>\n
Simmons has four seasons remaining on his contract with the 76ers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
