This week, we are running a replay of my conversation with Daryl Morey from last year. Daryl is the President of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers. Together with my friend and past guest of the show, Sam Hinkie, Daryl pioneered the analytics movement in basketball. He's been so influential his style has its own name, “Moreyball”, a nod to Michael Lewis's book about baseball, Moneyball. I had a blast talking to him about negotiation tactics, systems thinking, hiring, and a ton more. Please enjoy this great conversation with Daryl Morey.

My guest this week is Daryl Morey, who is President of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers. Daryl is a computer science graduate but has become one of the NBA's most successful General Managers during his time with the Houston Rockets and the 76ers. Together with my friend and past guest of the show, Sam Hinkie, Daryl pioneered the analytics movement in basketball. He's been so influential his style has its own name, “Moreyball”, a nod to Michael Lewis's book about baseball, Moneyball. Daryl is also the co-founder of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, which has become the gold standard forum for leaders in sports analytics. I had a blast talking to him about negotiation tactics, systems thinking, hiring, and a ton more. Please enjoy this great conversation with Daryl Morey.

Teil 2: Arne und ich haben es endlich geschafft uns noch einmal den großen Fragen gestellt, welche diese Playoffs bis zu den Finals aufgeworfen hatten. Wir diskutieren dabei über die gescheiterten Contender: Bucks, Celtics, Rockets und Sixers. In Teil 2: Funktioniert Kyrie Irving als 1. Option eines Contenders? War der Trade für ihn richtig oder haben die Celtics ihr Fenster zum Contender jetzt schon verpasst? Danach diskutieren wir über Philly: Passen Simmons und Embiid gut genug zusammen, um um die Championship mitspielen zu können? Das dritte Team, das wir besprechen, sind die Rockets: Ist ihr extremer Moreyball dazu verdammt, in den Playoffs zu scheitern? Und war der Vertrag für CP3 ein Fehler? Alles innerhalb von 45 Minuten! In Teil 1 ging es um Giannis und die Bucks sowie richtige und falsche Aussagen über Analytics, damit ihr euch unseren Finals-Talk am Ende noch rechtzeitig vor Game 5 Montagnacht reinziehen konntet.
