The Sixers have bigger problems than this Colangelo fiasco now that it has been revealed that Kendall Jenner is dating Ben Simmons.

Who among us is a burner account?

That is the real question. Dennis Lindsey needs to reveal himself before we reveal him!

We already know it's stitches (who is really Quin Snyder).

How can that be when Stiches is Walt Perrin?

That makes so much sense.

Because he's not Walt Perrin. His perfect guesses in the GTS game during the season outed him as Snyder.

Who needs burner accounts to reveal the plans of the front office, when we have David Locke?

That’s my thought. It was obvious the league wanted him out. He did a fantastic job. Let the man have his job back.

WTF??? Colangelo should be out, right? Right?

Best story of the year

My theory: Hinkie was the source who leaked the info. Philly seizes this opportunity to fire Colangelo and bring in David Griffin. LeBron -> Philly.

I hope not, the Jazz need as many idiotic GMs in the league as possible to fleece them every so often.

There is a rumor that the Celtics want to draft Bamba, which would mean they'll need to trade up. I wonder if any of the teams in the top 6 would be willing to trade their pick for Hayward...

Memphis maybe if they take on Parsons or Dallas for Barnes and 5, either way Boston is going to have take on bad salary or trade the likes of Tatum.

Any salary they'll take will most likely be for a shorter period than Hayward's contract. Hell, they could trade Hayward to Dallas for Matthews+#5 straight up, which will save them around 12M right off the bat, and after next season Matthews expires, clearing another 18.6M. Seems like a pretty good deal for both sides, actually, if the Celtics really want to get into the top 5:

Also, they'll never trade Tatum.

IMO if the Celtics trade up to top 5-6 it will involve picks as the main value, NOT players. It would be something like SAC 2019 pick + MEM 2019 pick + BOS 2018 pick...

Yeah I know they would never trade Tatum so thats why they have to eat bad money.

Actually, I think they would include players. They can't pay all of the ones they have anyway. Might as well move the most expensive player on the roster since they are stacked with a lot of talent at his position anyway.
