Sixers story (with video): 76ers should extend Joel Embiid's contract this summer: http://bit.ly/2lF8o7

Tom, would you be able to do a piece about the incompetent medical staff (See Embiid, Simmons, Okafor, Bynum, Webber, etc.)...

How are these guys still employed? How have they not been sacked? With Colangelo's Phoenix connections, a reference to his legendary medical staff that the Suns employed, could that be suggested in the article?

If that can't be done, is there anyway to pose the question during a press conference, or when you guys interview the coach or BC? We need to start a movement to get these clowns out of here. It starts with the medical staff.

This has not been handled well on any level.

I agree, which is exactly why something needs to be said about this. That being said, the one constant through all of this and all of the management we've had is the medical team. Would an article or some questions (about the incompetent medical staff) be possible?

Here's an idea, Tom.

Tom,

Wondering if there's any chance you pick up on the medical staff story.

Sincerely,
The fans

It would be difficult because we are not permitted to talk to the staff.

Tom,

We appreciate that you report on what news there is, and who you can talk to. However, the Splitter bite is not news. Because ownership is being reimbursed 80% by insurance now on Splitter's salary, and will continue to be until the end of the season. So there is no way they let him play even a minute and cost themselves free money.

Also, you guys may not be able to speak directly to the medical staff; but I think questioning Harris and Colangelo at the season ending presser long and hard about the medical staff's competence, their backgrounds and qualifications, and their questionable diagnoses and consistent bungling of treatment is something that needs to be done.
