According to reports, Morey has been on the 76ers' radar for months. In 2018, Morey had reportedly almost signed a deal with the 76ers, but ended up signing the contract extension with the Rockets.  The team also has former LA Clippers head coach Doc Rivers now. Sources added that both Rivers and Morey share an understanding, and have already met to discuss the team's future. 

Last year, Morey was caught up in the NBA China controversy, after he tweeted in support of protesters in Hong Kong. The tweet faced a backlash from China, and NBA games were taken off TV and merch was pulled off shelves. Reports reveal that the controversy has caused the NBA to lose at least $200 million in revenue. 

Conversations with the Sixers and Daryl Morey started shortly after his departure from Houston, escalated in recent days and will culminate with Morey becoming the Sixers new President, sources tell ESPN. Doc Rivers and Morey have a strong relationship and history together.
