Pompey's follow up article today suggests they will at least look at Morey, Pritchard (Pacers), and Olshey (Portland). He then goes on to say he's not sure any of them are even interested.

They're following the 2018 model. Leak big names of people who already have a job to make it look like they're serious about making changes.

Just hire Alaa. Team will disappoint but the broadcast improves.

Feel like we took Malik for granted while he was here. That was a magical run.

Second place would be Eric Snow just for that time he fell asleep during a game.

We loved Malik around here. He just got himself a much better gig.

Billionaire Michael Rubin, founder and executive chairman of Fanatics, has increased his equity in the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils, according to league sources.

Following a shake-up of limited partners, Rubin added 2% to his portfolio and now owns almost 10% of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, the company that holds both franchises, plus the Prudential Center, esports organization New Meta and a handful of other sports and entertainment assets. He is the group’s third largest shareholder, behind managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer.

All three increased their equity in HBSE after buying stakes owned by a series of minority partners, including David Heller and Art Wrubel, said the people, who were granted anonymity because the deals were private.

I was also told that there were brief talks about bringing Holiday back to Philly at the 2019 trade deadline.

I remember them being linked to Horford. Would probably cost a bit to make up the difference at this point of course.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.
