i think you all really overestimate his popularity around the league. His problems in the NBA run deep.

the stories are gonna start leaking now that he's out.

Realize we're all on edge, but avoid this.

Ban him then.

Why do we have to tolerate agitators on this board?

He is clearly trying to agitate for his own enjoyment.

How on earth does want express your rage to the team owners?

I guess it doesn't matter. They're all drinking whatever swill Jerry is slinging.

This sucks big time especially if they hire Bryan. Gotta appease the casual fanbase, owners and agents though I guess. Perennial 5-8 seed here we come!

We know, Hinkie fleece you guys for the Lakers pick.

That was the joke.

looking forward to hinkie getting credit for this team contending in 2 years.

Hope Colangelo's don't f up the big man trade. Everyone's got to know at this point that one of either Noel, Embiid, or Okafor is gone before draft day is done.

Jahlil Okafor and the Lakers pick for Dennis Schroder. My prediction for first BC trade.

Ugh, i was so ready to take the next step next season, with Hinkie. Ive never felt like i would simply stop being a fan of this team. Losing sucks, being terrible sucks but this reaks of laziness and disloyalty.

Byran was the one of the worst GM's in the league prior to his firing in Toronto. Hiring him means signing mediocre talent to big money. Noone knows how to eat through cap space faster then this guy.

Funny thing is, a similar thing happened to Colangelo in Toronto when he stepped down after they brought someone else in. And Masai Ujiri was about to break up the team when pretty much the EXACT team Bryan built came in first in their division and won it with the same coach as the previous year. Much of the core is the same. At least Valuncias, Lowry and DeRozan were all acquisitions made before. He obviously made his share of mistakes though.

I wonder if he had not pulled the trigger on the trade last summer dealing MCW (which I had heard he had to really convince ownership to allow him to make that trade) if that started the process of them wanting to bring someone else in. Though I'm sure you guys know more details regarding that.

Lets be honest bringing Ferry would be a disaster. He's an admitted racist that's a problem when you have more AA employees then the NCAAP.

If we were hiring him to run the Phillies not so much. The thing about Brian is he's awful. Sam was right to resign it's one thing to share duties with a trusted voice like Jerry it's another to play second fiddle to his know nothing son.

**** Colangelo. And Colangelo.

Maybe this organisation is just inherently stupid and a lost cause.

They go from a guy who is too smart for his own good, to a guy who is too dumb for his own good.

There's a middle ground here Sixers. Shouldn't be too hard to find it.

This is deflating...I'm now less optimistic about the off season.

chill out man. if you can't have a civilized conversation because you're more of a Hinkie fanboy than a Sixers fan, then I don't know what to tell you.
thats always been the issue with the Hinkie cult. It's like you've lost perspective on why we're all really here.

like i said before I LIKE HINKIE. just don't need to worship and go into depression because he's gone

If you think Saric ever steps on the court for Philly now LOL. Bryan will trade him on Draft day to move up 2 slots.

0-30 and Okafor assaulting hecklers was the tipping point, not the excellent MCW trade.
