CFP wrote:Alright, Pompey now has the firing down to a timetable, so this has gotta be happening:

The fate of 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo is expected to be determined soon, and maybe even today.

Some league sources expect him to lose his job after a New York law firm hired by the team wraps up its investigation into allegations from a sports and pop culture website that Colangelo is connected to anonymous Twitter accounts, ones that have revealed sensitive team information and criticized players and coach Brett Brown.

They said that the Sixers ownership group prefers to fire employees on Friday evenings. The group, according to sources, considers Friday-evening firings less distracting because very few people will be the office Saturday when the former employee cleans out his belongings.


A PE firm owned business would let former employees back to gather their belongings after they've been fired? Maybe its different if you're picking up a 7 figure paycheck, but that's not my experience for the rank and file middle management and below.

It was in that article on the ringer (fancy that) about the crazy guy that hid all the Hinkie stuff throughout the practice facility. I believe.

I think spike eskin said he heard it too.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

I'm pretty sure dealing with all the losing and mockery of the process and then the Silver/Colangelo coup to oust Hinkie just as it was about to turn broke the brains of a decent portion of the Philadelphia population. I know it broke mine.

I believe Keith already explained that birthday parties are usually monday afternoons because that's when lanes are cheap and you can get free shoe rentals.
