I heard this from a friend yesterday afternoon, but decided to wait to post it for a day because I wanted to talk to them more to make sure I had it right. This person knows a couple people in the organization.
Apparently there is a rift in the organization between the Bryan Colangelo and Scott O'Neil. They really hate each other. Scott O'Neil and Colangelo have been in disagreements with certain things on way the organization should do things, and Scott has been undermining Bryan Colangelo and going behind his back to Josh Harris. I hear Bryan Colangelo is not happy with it at all, and Joshua Harris has been siding with O'Neil.
The person I talked to couldn't confirm this, but they speculated that Scott O'Neil may have been the driving force behind the Nerlens Noel trade, and Scott O'Neil was also the one who pushed for Embiid to play in the Houston game.
So if this is going down like I've been told and you want Colangelo gone, a rift like this can only last so long before people start to get sucked in. Either Colangelo or O'Neil are going to go at some point, and due to the fact that O'Neil is with Harris and the Devils and is close with him, it wouldn't surprise me if it is Bryan Colangelo.
