    Clutch trolled him on twitter a while back:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>With Sam Hinkie being hired by Philly today, imagine how awkward <a href="https://twitter.com/JmitchInquirer">@JmitchInquirer</a> must be feeling. <a href="http://t.co/4KV7EFggyQ">http://t.co/4KV7EFggyQ</a></p>&mdash; ClutchFans (@clutchfans) <a href="https://twitter.com/clutchfans/statuses/332988905341194240">May 10, 2013</a></blockquote>

    Hey there,

    I just reread one of your articles, thanks for the laugh. Let us know how your new moneyball GM and Royce White work out. By the way, well done on trading for Bynum.

    Please troll more Clutch. Given we got Dwight & they've got Royce, how can you not?

    I may disagree with his opinions, but I do like that he appears at least to be open to new ideas and without flip flopping at the drop of a hat.

    From http://articles.philly.com/2013-05-13/sports/39205826_1_daryl-morey-rockets-james-harden

    Readers of this column know that, unlike a growing number of Internet acolytes, I don't worship at the altar of advanced statistics. However, after 82 servings of the lukewarm gruel (on its best nights) delivered by the Sixers during the 2012-13 season, I'm open to seeing the role advanced statistical analysis might play in rebuilding a moribund NBA franchise.

    I agree Terrance JONES was a pick for if White flaked out... But I would be happy as hell if Morey traded Asik for Terrance Ross...

    @JmitchInquirer

    @Roxmikol13 yeah, genius, and now they are the worst team in the league

    @Roxmikol13
    @JmitchInquirer Not by the doing of Hinkie. Nothing wrong with going all in for Wiggins.
    Hinkie will make Philly relevant again, hack.

    @Roxmikol13
    @JmitchInquirer Man up and admit you got owned by Morey. One Year and Morey lands two stars with potential to add another. #clutch
