The single most universally hated GM in all of sports, jerry krause has how many rings?

I DO NOT like the colangelos nor I do not trust them, but i still like to give everyone some sort of due process and not turn things into mob rule.

If for some reason Bryan offended any of you, you certainly have the right to discontinue watching, following and supporting the Philadelphia 76ers.


You should forward this to Embiid when he asks for a trade.


Read it again, I will highlight a special section for you.

Ownership isn't smart enough to talk to the players imo. They probably had Bryan do it.


Definitely just made Brett do it. Bryan probably will say he already explained it to Embiid and he's too busy with the draft.

Can't wait until half of the crowd is chanting "Where's Eric Jr?" at the home opener.

Embiid is already a heel. BC now maybe one of the biggest heels. Simmons has potential for a shocking heel turn. Fultz again probably has no shot now that he lost his white lodge daemon while breaking Jo's face but need a heel turn out of him somehow. Lebron joins as late career Hulk Hogan and we become tha most hated in the game. NWO

Ooh here's an idea for fultz: breaks a whiteboard over Bretts head, checks himself in and immediately wets a 30 foot stepback with perfect form. Someone get an attractive girl to DM him this plan (might need 2 reach out beyond BSG network here)

Are we speaking of the same Embiid who got a 5-year, $148MM contract after playing 31 NBA games from Colangelo?

Every GM in the league gives him that deal, it was a no brainer just like taking Simmons #1.

It was not a no brainer. There was plenty of debate about whether to do the extension or what until the end of the season when the Sixers could have matched any offer sheet. The Sixers and BC relieved Embiid from that pressure.

Once they got Embiid's camp to agree to the injury protections in the contract it made it easy. I guess he deserves credit for getting him to agree to that but a lot of it was Embiid wanting to stay because of how much he liked it here.

Do you honestly think Embiid looks at it this way/cares relative to the guy being linked to someone trashing him repeatedly on the internet.

Hell he might blame Colangelo for screwing him out of the super max.

I doubt any sort of "you should be grateful" line of argument would go over well with the guy.

Embiid liked all of the posts. People probably retweet them at him all the time. He's gonna be constantly reminded of them.

Any chance Jerry promised delivery of LeBron and they don't want to fuck that up.

I wonder if they are trying to salvage his career by saying this only to have him resign due to the distraction on go forward basis.

It’s a possible win-win.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Would you keep BC if it was the only way to get LeBron to come?

Pretty much every front office/coach has purposefully talked off the record and talked shit about players, owners, coworkers.... and those who were talked shit about were 99% sure where it came from, the difference here is the hand is caught in the cookie jar. That's his bed, he's got to lay in it.

As far as public opinion... open one of the burners back up and tell the Simmons and the celtics to eat a dick, he will forever be a Philadelphia cult hero.
