not necessarily. The ball could drop at any minute, but if we don't hear anything by tomorrow, this is becoming uncharted


If he's not fired by tomorrow evening on the typical Friday "bad news" dump then it's time to get concerned.

The Finals start today, they arent firing him and taking the news away from that. Highly highly doubt it.

This is Adam Silver's fault anyway. Fuck him.

Wouldn't they want to do it on a day where news will be focused elsewhere. Firing a GM, even under these situations, would pale in comparison to the pomp and circumstance of Game 1.

This was all anyone wanted to talk about yesterday. It completely overtook all Finals excitement. Strange but true. I think this is the big story in the league now

Silver is probably in the loop, not sure if that's good or bad. But it does mean everything is likely muted until tomorrow. Which usually leads to it being tweeted anyway via Wojbomb or Howard Eskin

If at worst this will break in the middle of the game when no one can talk about it till after.

Predicting a Saturday morning announcement. Or Monday. Or next Weds in the evening.

O'Neill's going to have to do a presser, so need time to (1) have enough from an investigation to talk about and (2) some form of answer to 'what's next?'

After all, they run the place like a family business.

I think it has to be Harris. O'Neal runs the business side but I don't think he's colangelos boss.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

LOL. Love that one section: ""The vision for a culture that celebrates working parents comes from our Managing Partners, Josh Harris and David Blitzer, who have ten children between them who have hustled to their share of school plays or little league basketball, baseball or hockey games.""

Yeah, via helicopter landing. So realistic for working families

FWIW, I think colangelo resigns tomorrow (4-5pm timeframe). Sixers do a press conference Monday. And I think the theme will be that Bryan stepped aside understanding that his presence with the team is now a negative distraction leading into pivotal offseason and that’s not fair to the franchise or its players. And how sixers have halted the investigation in the near term to focus on hiring a GM.

Something like that.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?
