You've only been a Sixers fan since The Process? Zeal of the convert is a helluva drug.
Maybe his old pal and trading partner Danny Ainge? He’s got all sorts of assets.
Now you're just baiting poor London. He's already curled up in a ball in the corner, what the hell more do you want?
I was a casual fan, I got into the NBA seriously as a result, started learning schemes and styles and scouting draft etc.
Need to spend some time in the trade machine for this one, but I think that would mean that we have to send Yabusele, Nader, and Jay Larranaga too. Hopefully that works and we can keep Jabari Bird, because I have dibs on the "Trade Kyrie or Jabari Bird?" thread in three years.
Why? BC isn’t a terribly good GM, but you knew that a month ago.
Woj also reporting that Brett Brown will oversee Basketball Operations, at least on an interim basis.
They announced Brown's extension when the story broke so it seemed clear this was the most likely scenario. He's the guy that's been there since Hinkie and keeps the front office from turning to total chaos.
I'd think so. They'd have to say it wasn't his fault so BC could get paid on the way out the door.
With "advisors" like these, who needs opponents? Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
That would really suck. When Morey and McDonough left it was to WC teams, not to an Atlantic Division rival. As for LeBron, why would Colangelo's departure make it more difficult to attract him? If anything, it should help. LeBron will want to run the franchise anyway.
Seriously. Go away, Colangelo's. Sounds like the wife did a factory reset of her iPhone before she handed it over so it looks like Bryan was the source and she was the tweeter.
I think they have to, he is the only major piece that has been through it all. And I know he's not well know to most but he's very well known and liked around the league by every report. He is a just a good honest guy who gives his full. People really like him, don't forget d'antoni was willing to work under him. Pop loves him, Kerr loves him. He isn't a no one despite the lack of coaching experience in the playoffs.
Of course.
Poor form. That statement is not going to save him any work in the near future. He really should have just left quietly.
Don’t know that I believe this entirely but do think his wife is an idiot.
How can the Sixers chances be even or better then the Celtics when the Celtics beat them in five games without Irving and Hayward and injuries to Jaylen and Smart????
Indeed. He threw his wife under the bus publicly for a freaking job. Even if she was 100% responsible, she should be serving him divorce papers right now.
And if she is 100% responsible for him losing his job he should be serving her with divorce papers.
This is absolutely part of the agreement. In order for Colangelo to go (relatively) quietly and accept the buyout, the Sixers has to agree to back the fiction that it was all his wife’s doing and he knew nothing.
If he really didn’t know (huge if)? Then she should feel horrible about what she’s done and be perfectly fine with being thrown under the bus.
Because PHI fans take it as a sign that Lebron is signing there and they pour a bunch of money on to them at that price?
The behavior of his wife is all you need to know that the cover story is 100% fraudulent.
Brown has some real strengths. Tactical adjustments in a best-of-7 series isn’t among them, but talent evaluation might be. Not the worst guy to have managing the draft process.
I think you’ve got bingo.
Depends on whether LeBron’s willingness to come depends on other deals being made. I’m sure Brown and the remaining FO folks can handle offering LBJ a max contract and renouncing the guys who need to go to clear the requisite cap space. Revamping the entire roster in the space of a few weeks would be a much heavier lift; if that’s necessary, the Sixers will suffer for not having a seasoned hand at the helm in the coming weeks.
As I said upthread, this can only mean that gamblers think the Sixers have a decent chance of landing LeBron. I have my doubts about how he would mesh with Simmons and (to a lesser extent) Embiid, but there’s no question that the Sixers with LeBron would be better than this year’s Cavs.
Just to note: those are not crowd-sourced in any real sense, it's the collection of a handful of expert sports book opinions....though I agree with you they are more useful than the prop bets are.
Possibly. Or she wiped it out of fear, before realizing that he was cooked and she was the only way to possibly save him.
