Maybe in passing, but not as someone anyone picked for a finalist. Bower being in that group makes me nervous. Oh well, nothing we can do but sit and wait...and wait...

That was opinion and not any insider info. Most everyone else was of the same opinion to be honest.

The Sixers are currently interviewing potential replacements for president of basketball operations Rod Thorn, team sources told the Philadelphia Daily News on Monday.
The team has received permission to talk with personnel executives from some teams, a source said. The Sixers also have been turned down by some organizations.
Potential candidates, according to league sources, include San Antonio vice president of operations Danny Ferry; Spurs assistant GM Dennis Lindsey; Jeff Bower, who was a general manager for the New Orleans Hornets; Oklahoma City assistant GM Troy Weaver; Atlanta GM Rick Sund, whose contract expires at the end of June; and Milwaukee GM John Hammond, who has a year remaining on his deal. Hammond, who was denied permission to talk to Portland last month, was an assistant coach for Doug Collins with Detroit.
