It’d be pretty funny if that’s what it was and then Lue decided to take a job elsewhere because of it.

Brand has been given credit publicly for most of the Sixers' key decisions since he was named GM two years ago. But the owners and other front-office people have been more deeply involved than the team has admitted.
Still, he met with the team’s ownership on Monday to discuss a new contract, according to multiple sources. Sources added Brand was expecting to get a three- or four-year deal.
The Sixers organization prides itself on diversity hires and donating millions to social justice causes. However, it might receive some criticism if it hires D’Antoni, a white male, over Lue, 43, a Black male during a time when the NBA is promoting Black Lives Matter. Lue has an NBA title pedigree, winning two championships as a player with the Los Angeles Lakers and another coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But it’s hard to criticize the Sixers for not hiring a qualified Black coach when in fact the person publicly in charge of leading the decision is another Black male.
This coaching search has been eye-opening for several league sources.

@JClarkNBCS
I’m hearing one of the reasons along with coaching that Sixers have a lot of interest in Mike D’Antoni is feeling with some in organization that he could help lure James Harden to Philly
Harden can become a free agent in 2 years and there is possibility of trade
