Joel Embiid after beating Detroit: ‘The only thing I noticed was people trying to fight me because they don’t know the rules’

Dameris reminisced about GM Morey’s strategic moves during his time with the Houston Rockets, acquiring players like Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. He then pointed out how Morey adapted the system with the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid and, last but not least, highlighted the trade where the Brooklyn Nets got Ben Simmons. “Listen, James, if you’ve ever had those friends who had bad roommates over and over, they complained about their bad roommates, ‘this guy is terrible, the bad roommate here.’ They never thought, being self-aware enough, that they were the bad roommate. They’re the problem. “Hey James, you’re the problem,” Dameris exclaimed. “If this doesn’t work this year in this system with this team, and you’re gonna go and point fingers at everybody else, and you’re gonna go back home and swiping right for another team, there’s not gonna be anybody left. Because, James, you’re not the Beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.” -via BasketNews / November 11, 2023
