It's probably nearly impossible to organize over Realgm, but there needs to be a boycott over a series of games. Only then will they take notice. That and timed chants of "We Want Sam," "Not our GM," and "Fire Scott O'neil." Maybe get this trending on twitter or something.

As long as Sam Hinkie is a FA, I hold out hope we can bring him back somehow.

This isn't Colangelo, this is Harris and O'Neil.

Colangelo put his stamp on this when he went to the media and hid the tear from us. Hinkie got all the blame for his lack of transparency to the media. Colangelo gets that privilege too, if not more for blatantly being proven a liar.

I think he's being ordered to do so from Harris and O'Neil. They are his bosses.

Colangelo was not like this in Toronto. Have to put 2 and 2 together here.

I for sure think Harris and O'Neil are the slimiest of the bunch. Obviously we will never be able to confirm, but I don't see how you can absolve Colangelo of fault for this last month of mismanagement of Embiid and Simmon's injuries/PR. He's the one who horribly mismanaged the Okafor situation and sent him for 2 games. He's the one who got a terrible return for Noel by overplaying his hand. I don't think it's too hard to imagine a situation where he is not an active schemer in this. He just seems overmatched ever since things got difficult.

He **** up the trade deadline, but all this injury stuff and PR stuff I really don't think he has anything to do with it. I think he's just taking orders from his bosses. They wanna sell tickets, and he's just being the nice little lap dog.

Harris needs to sell, but he's not the main problem. That spineless turd can be bullied into anything.

BC needs to be fired, but it seems to me he's acting on directions.

The problem IMO, or head of the snake so to speak, is Scott O'Neill.

Again, you may be right, and we will never know his true stance. But he got in bed with the devils, so I feel no pity with him haha. His face and words are on those lies.

I generally don't like for people to lose their jobs...but someone has to take the proverbial bullet here and kick rocks.

I mean...first you lie about the injury...then you put him back out there...he makes it worse...and then you hide the severity until you can't anymore. All the while you are trying to sell tickets with the idea he's totes gonna play this year.

someone in that situation **** up. Potentially multiple times. Someone gotz ta go.

Not sure how someone doesn't lose their job for this quote.

Fire Scott O'Neil.

I Trust the Process but not the front office. Playing Embiid on a bum knee just to get TV exposure should be a fireable offense.

If we boycott the Sixers home games for the remaining games, will Adam Silver once again interfere? No point in watching these games anyway, Dario Saric highlights will do it for me.

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.

This is the most positive news I've heard in a while. But really the only solution is for both of them to go.

Anyway not good news for the organization.
Not sure O'Neil "can separate good people of the Delaware Valley from their wallets"

Hmmm, what if it was Scott O'Neil behind the mask? Push Hinkie out, now this?
