As you all know, Im not a very active member here. I just popped back in to gloat about my screen name here. Greatest of all time. So aptly named for a 6ers fan.
I love that Hinkie's letter read as a giant F YOU to ownership. It sucks that the fans are the ones that feel the brunt of that nut kick.

So basically Hinkie is saying "The Sixers owners can't stick to the plan they drew up, I can't work with this Geezer or his idiotic son."

Deuces.

It was a treat to watch from afar. The cupboard is not bare Sixers fans.

BC will blow through our cap space like Billy King on a bender. This is not good.

The cupboard is stocked full of Colangelos! Plural. Sigh.

The amazing thing is that he did that interview with Lowe, presumably, with the 13-page resignation already made out. God, that guy is so cool because I would have never expected that. He's going to destroy the NBA with some team in the near future. Just watch.

This is the worst thing that has happened as a Sixers fan in my lifetime.

The Barkley trade was awful. This is worse.

We all expected the AI trade, losing to LA in the finals, ets.

This is a disaster.

I'm just a fan if our players at this point. I will follow Noel, Embiid, Jah, Saric, etc closely wherever they go, and I will be a player fan. Not a 76ers fan. That is where I am right now mentally.

Yeah it was a baller move.

If they wanted what the colangelo's gave PHX they should have just asked. Are you telling me a guy as smart as Hinkie couldn't put together a 45 win team with no chance to ever win anything ever? Well gentleman, we are the kings now.

The only worse news that could happen would be Embiid breaking his foot again.

At least cosmically this makes it likely that we are going to win the lottery.

If they are really bringing in Jerry's son that is truly disgusting.

the worst part is that the **** up top somehow thought that the 3 man cell up top thing would work....AFTER IT **** FAILED WITH Collins/Delio/Thorn....Too many cooks.

I shat on Ed Snider but Josh Harris and his **** friends are 10 times worse.

This whole situation makes the 10 wins feel even worse...what the **** was the point then?

ufggggghhh

sort of annoyed that Hinkie didn't have the guts to stick around, if ownership was truly not going to fire him. (even if they undermined him a little bit) which sucks for him I understand that. but jesus man, we're coming off a 10 win season, 3 years into a rebuild

did he really believe he was just going to get 10 years to do whatever the hell he wanted with no repercussions?

True, it depends on the intelligence of the next guy hired. But right now, as a snapshot, not bare and incredibly loaded if Embiid is a healthy manchild.

Honestly, I can't remember being this upset about anything having to do with sports.

I want to like, throw things at Josh Harris and Jerry Colangelo.

Exactly. This was the year to start building. He had the assets in place. The draft picks. New talent coming in Embiid + Saric. A boatload of caproom. Now we're going to probably piss away 3 years of deliberate tanking to let some schmuck and his horribly dated father **** with the team. I'll follow it out, because I want to see what happens and hope for the best. But damn.
