If he doesn’t get fired today maybe we should all chip in and get a bill board put up.

Why is he still here? This is now really starting to hurt our offseason chances and the future of this club.

They hired an investigator. They are going to let them do there job and thoroughly so that they can fire him properly and try to get his contract voided or put the chips on the table, 100% with concrete evidence to force him to resign.

They aren’t going to just can him based on an article and twitter users clamoring for it instantly. they’d for sure be liable to pay out his contract and leave themselves open for a suit if somehow he was able to prove it wasn’t him.

Might not like it, but gotta give it a bit to do things by the book.

People are seriously trying to make the case that front office decisions should be made based purely off The Ringer articles. It's insane. If you didn't think the organization would go through a rigorous investigation scrutinizing many aspects of this story than I don't know what to tell you.

This isn’t an investigation to determine a financial fraud that may have occurred over several years. They literally just need to ask 2-3 people if these twitters were theirs, or, whether they know whose twitters accounts they are. Allegedly their phones have already been confiscated. Thus, it should not be difficult, nor time consuming, to get enough information that will let them make a decision on this.

But, This IS an investigation of years of potential fraud.it could be identify fraud, and god knows whatever other violations have been committed if this was in fact BC and/or his family.

The Sixers are a billion dollar, corporate organization. BC is under contract with them for millions of dollars.
There going to hire a reputable investigator,(they did) cross every T and dot every I before going public with a decision.

I understand it may seem simple, but there’s also a ton of leg work that has to be done to get things done the RIGHT way so that IF this was to be taken to court, it’s done the legitimate, proper way and the Sixers are covered.

You can’t just shut a door, take people’s phones, look at them and come to a determination instantly. Might be easy to do it that way, but good luck in court when your being sued for millions of dollars. Not to mention if any players go after the Sixers for the now public talks on potential injury/health information being leaked.

I think by the end of the week we will have an answer, which isn’t unreasonable considering the circumstances of this. The Sixers aren’t just looking to can BC, there looking to prove it and clear themselves of any potential involvement with it.

It sounds like they did just take their phones and ask them questions and are now just deliberating so hopefully it will not take much longer. And why would the speed of the investigating matter in a lawsuit, assuming they know whether Bryan or his wife made the tweets. For example, an issue might be whether they could fire BC for cause and not have to pay part of his contract. But whether they can, or cannot, won’t change based on how long they take to investigate. Any information that is relevant to that will come out in discovery if BC actually sues. This isn’t like an insurance claim where the sixers will get sued for bad faith for doing a quick investigation. I don’t practice labor law, so maybe I’m missing something, but I just don’t see how any future lawsuit is effected here.

I haven't seen that term for a long time. (It used to be in the jingle for the Hancock insurance company.) But it looks fitting in a Philadelphia-related thread.

Haven't missed a game since year 1997 when LB took over. Suffered through awful Iggy years post AI. I am done with this team if Harris doesn't fire BC.

No watching, merchandise, nothing. Will distance myself from team. Can't route for another team due to Philly routes, but I will be detached from NBA. This MGMT doesn't deserve us, this fanbase, the greatest in country.

Thank God the owners finally left their NYC bubble and joined the real world for a minute to unofficially fire Bryan.

I'm not sure your hate for Harris in this situation. He came off very genuine and concerned; he said all the right things. He apologized that it took so long but it was because of the severity of the accusations and wanting to make sure they made the right decision. According to our insider (the guy on Real GM who knows Embiid), BC was definitely getting fired and the reports yesterday that he "might stick around" were just posturing by the Colangelos. At the end of the day, this was the outcome we all anticipated but I'm sure there's a ton of loose ends and competing interests that had to be resolved.

My only complaint is that they didnt make an announcement earlier this week to give more transparency into the process and estimates of timing.
