Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the city of sin.

Sixers general manager Daryl Morey is also back here.

After returning, he will report to the boss.

However, the boss is very busy and will not stay in Philadelphia all the time.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that owner Josh Harris returned to Philadelphia.

After inquiring about the boss's return, Morey quickly came to the boss's office.

He reported to the boss with a sullen face: "Boss, let me report to you the content of this meeting."

Harris nodded: "You say."

Morey frowned and said, "The content of this meeting is about Wang Yi's salary next season not being included in the team's total salary."

"Boss, I think this is simply nonsense. If Wang Yi's salary is not included in the total wages of the team, then he can form a super powerful Big Three. In addition, they still have salary space to sign powerful players. A strong role player. Then he may even form the strongest team in history."

"This will greatly damage the ecology of the league. At that time, other teams will not be at the same level as Wang Yi's team. This will greatly reduce the attractiveness of the NBA. This is not good for any team, except Wang Yi's own team."

Harris heard the words and smiled slightly: "What if Wang Yi comes to our team?"

Morey shook his head: "Impossible."

Harris: "Why?"

Morey: "Because I'm here."

Harris: "And what if I fire you?"

Morey: "..."

Morey looked at Harris at this time, trying to see a hint of joking from the boss's face.

Harris, however, seemed serious.

Under normal circumstances, when Harris speaks seriously, he is definitely not joking.

Mo Lai couldn't help but Gordon let out a sound in his heart.

"Boss, why?"

Harris looked at Morey seriously: "Did you object to this proposal at the meeting?"

Morey nodded: "Yes."

The boss shook his head slightly: "That's why I fired you. Your presence in the team will hinder my plan to recruit Wang Yi."

Morey was stunned: "Boss..."

He wanted to say something else, but the boss's outstretched hand interrupted him:
"It is undeniable that you have contributed to the team over the years, and I will not treat you badly."

"I will give you a pension to retire. But your existence will indeed affect my plan to attract Wang Yi. You should know that as a boss, I want to make money, and if Wang Yi comes to the team, I will make money. to more money."

When Morey heard this, he was stunned for half a minute.

He didn't even think about it in his dreams, he was talking to the boss and asked the boss to deny Xiao Hua's proposal when Xiao Hua called, but he didn't expect the boss to fire himself first.

My mother, this is so fucking ridiculous.

And all this turned out to be because of a guy from the East.

But he was not willing to admit defeat like this.

"Boss, you also know that Wang Yi hates me only because I made such remarks many years ago, but freedom of speech, is this wrong? I can even scold the president, why can't I make such remarks?"

Rees looked at Morey and sighed:
"You used to be the general manager of the Rockets, and when you got on the train of Yao Ming, Huaxia fans liked you very much. I thought you could seize this opportunity, but I didn't expect that you played a good hand of cards to a pulp."

"I thought you'd come to your senses after so many years, but I didn't expect that you're still obsessed with it."

Morey was still stubborn: "The boss said so, do you think freedom of speech is wrong?"

Reese shook his head.

He knew that telling Morey that "freedom of speech is right, but not unlimited freedom" will not help.

Someone must have said that to Morey over the years. If Morey could wake up, he would have woken up a long time ago.

So he changed the angle:
"Freedom of speech is right, but when freedom of speech and interests conflict, it is wrong. We are in a capitalist society, and what we are chasing is capital. This is determined by the laws of our society. You must contend with such laws , then your result will only be failure."

Hearing this, Morey seemed to have finally figured something out.

But he still wanted to make a final resistance: "Boss, even if you fire me, the possibility of Wang Yi choosing the 76ers is very small, even infinitely close to 0."

The boss looked at Morey and said solemnly, "Even if there is a chance, I will try."

When Morey heard this, he finally gave up.

He sat down on the sofa slumped.

Although the boss can't bear it, he is a capitalist, and he lives for the pursuit of profit.

When Morey conflicted with the interests he was pursuing, it was natural to fire Morey.

And what he didn't tell Morey was that Wang Yi had a deep relationship with the Rothschild family.

If Wang Yi can join the team, then this is a great opportunity to build a relationship with the Rothschild family. Morey's existence will affect such an opportunity, and he will naturally fire Morey mercilessly.

Of course, Morey will never know this.

After Morey slowed down, Harris said:

"Darryl, there are only playoffs left in this season. Your work is basically over. You can go home and rest. When I find a new general manager, you can hand over the work with him and then you can leave. Of course, I will pay you a lot of your liquidated damages."

Originally, the contract with Morey will not expire until the end of the next season.

Now the boss is willing to pay more than 800 million US dollars in liquidated damages for Wang Yi, and also wants to fire Morey in advance.

This made Morey completely give up.

He nodded and stood up.

Said "goodbye".

Dejectedly left the office.

His back looks as if he is 10 years older than when he first came in.

Seeing this, the boss also sighed.

There is an old saying in China that those who know current affairs are heroes.

This Morey is too ignorant of current affairs.

Back then, eating other people's food, but smashing other people's pots, already made people unable to understand his operations.

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and he still hasn't woken up.

Morey was a smart guy, but there were some things he was too stupid for.

At the same time, on the evening of the same day, a reporter broke the news that the 76ers were going to fire general manager Morey.

Many people say that this is groundless.

After all, Morey only has one year left in his contract with the 76ers, so there is no need to pay an extra $800 million for this one year.

And Morey can be regarded as a hero for the 76ers. Although he failed to let the 76ers win the championship, he has worked diligently for the 76ers over the years and has also formed a competitive lineup.

He has done nothing but merit, why should he be fired all of a sudden?

However, interested parties have already traveled to Philadelphia to inquire.
