I wonder what their pitch was.

Probably something like "you'd be in the East, so if you just ignore how we did your boy, Hinkie, dirty and pulled the rug out from under him and replaced him with some guy with only a family name then...hello? Daryl? Did the call drop? Hello? Mr. Morey, sir, are you there?"

While you’re right... to be fair Silver basically called Sixers ownership into his office and told them to stop Hinkie, and then essentially appointed Jerry Colangelo as president of basketball ops over Hinkie. Jerry C then told Hinkie he could keep his job if he worked under Bryan; knowing that would likely get him to resign.

So the Sixers ownership is guilty of being gutless to stand up to the Commish.

Damn...that's terrible!

It was such a short-sighted move by Silver & Co. I hope that you guys land a good one and send all of those clowns off to being just a bad memory.
