i am confident and happy the sixers have a special advisor in place, recommended by the nba commissioner himself, who will deal with this issue in a fair and proper manner.

I've been on so many boards today I didn't remember that I'd read that here!

there will be so many situations like that--you can't keep your job when you've become a laughingstock.

I'm with Squire, I feel like he deserves this.

I think we're beyond him making rational decisions based on what we've come to find out about him. Him not saying anything would be very un-Ericjr like

He could have gone 3 days not saying anything. Guessing this will be over tomorrow.

Let's play "guess when this Adam Silver quote is from"

For the league there’s always that balance of speed and doing things in a deliberate and appropriate way. And so I have talked to management at the 76ers and the notion here was, let’s find out what’s going on.

I think he's fired then Pat Croce comes back and takes over and Bryan is the surprise bell ringer at the home opener

I like how Adam Silver is out there making statements and acting like he's not responsible for the entire flipping episode

I think he's done. Sixers just doing all this to say that they did their due diligence before firing him.

I know this is bad timing and all but it does give the Sixers the advantage of bringing in a LeBron guy at a critical time...

The Colangelo thing was the 4th story on the local DC news post game after weather, Durant ties to the DC area, Cleveland babies getting Cavs clothes when they're born.

ESPN reporting with @ZachLowe_NBA: As internal probe on Twitter activity increasingly focuses on his family, Sixers ownership seriously considering dismissal of Bryan Colangelo.

the article -> http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2366 ... ts-fallout

So far, Philadelphia ownership has shown little, if any, inclination to separate Colangelo's culpability in the matter should a family member or close associate be proven responsible for the postings, league sources said.
