And welcome to the emergency podcast here, P.H.L.Y. Sixers podcast. Darrell Mori gets an extension. So you get extra of us.

Kyle Newbeck, Derek Bodden. I'm Devon, Givin's with you. Is that a threat or a promise or like, how does that work, Devon?

That's a positive. That's a positive. It's not a threat. It's just simply a positive thing as we get together here because you're going to see us tonight after the Sixers host the Pistons as well. So we're going to be with you here for this emergency pod. We'll talk to you later after the Sixers for a postgame show as well. but we had to come right in and jump right in and get this conversation in a three-year deal.

It looks like for Darrell Mori and a lot to go along with it. We'll dive into everything from his moves, how it looks right now with Nick Ners, Joel and Bede and his history with Darrell Mory.

Like there have been some ups and downs.

There certainly was a crisis of confidence in the fan base.

There's still a bunch of people who are not big fans of his, I would say, or around the city,

but made a lot of good, important moves, specifically drafting Tyrese Maxi, specifically

navigating the Hardin Trade well, not overwhelmingly winning it, but certainly doing a good

job with what he got there. And I would say their overall track record in terms of drafting

young players, identifying young talent has been pretty strong when you consider where they've

had their picks.

It does get dinged for letting someone like Isaiah Joe go, but they've pulled rotation players out of the second round.

Guy like Paul Reed becomes an important part of the team getting taken in the second round.

So lots of little wins too.

But I think the big headline

is that the big stuff has gotten done well. And now his timeline aligns with Nick Nurse. And I think
