“A liar and a fraud”: Philadelphia 76ers President Daryl Morey receives criticism on social media after Patrick Beverley trade

The President of the Basketball Operations at Philadelphia 76ers Daryl Morey has landed himself in hot waters after trading Patrick Beverley with Milwaukee Bucks.

The 35-year-old was allowed to leave the franchise before the end of the mid-season transfer window and join the Bucks who were keen in signing him to strengthen the contingent for the remainder of the season.

The move was heavily criticised by the fans on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — where some even went on to call Morey ‘a liar and a fraud’.

The Sixers are having a decent campaign where they are placed on the third position with 31 wins and 21 defeats in the Atlantic Standings.

In the previous outing against the Washington Wizards, the Sixers secured a much-needed win with a score of 119-113 at the Capital One Arena on Saturday. It was their first win after four consecutive defeats in the competition.

Beverley, who plays as a point guard, is having a decent level on a personal level where he is averaging 6.3 points, three rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

His most impressive outing this season came in the match against the Denver Nuggets where he registered 17 points to go with four rebounds and 11 assists.
