The Savior wrote: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.


That sounds about right. I forgot that today's Thursday, not Friday.

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.


I was thinking that too, but Harris was so bad at pressers before, can't imagine him being on that island by himself, so may be the 2 of them. Only other option is Jerry haha.

Everyone gets bumped up one position. Brown to President, Embiid to coach, Simmons to Embiid.

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

I think coupled with Cavs-Warriors IV burnout, this is a new news story that gets the blood boiling. It'll subside into the background once there is game action to go off of, especially if a cool storyline develops in Game 1, so dumping it in the midst of the series is key. It'll have its time in the Sun when it becomes applicable.. like a FA July Sun

Saw a conspiracy theory that Brown is bringing in Monty Williams as a coach but if Colangelo is let go Williams could have a basketball ops role. Not a bad assumption I guess

He worked in basketball ops for the Spurs this year. Wasn't aware of that. That being said, if Brown has control over the staff, I'd just prefer he's a coach.
