This is exactly what happened.....
The other league owners cried wolf to Adam Silver, sick of the Sixers continually costing the other owners money by putting a product on the court that fans didnt wanna pay to see come to town. "They've been doing this to us on purpose for 3 yrs now, when does it end?". So Silver says, "ok ok I understand, I'll pull some strings:" Notifies Josh Harris and co. that the natives are getting restless. Forces the Sixers to hire Colangelo to ensure the tanking ends - even tho common knowledge would suggest Year Three was the last year of it, that I'm sure wasnt enough to appease the other owners. So in comes Jerry. Hinkie knows the clock is ticking on him as Jerry's son is looking to get back in the league. Hinkie says f*ck you and quits before he's fired. Who can blame him? Now the Sixers are going to churn these assets, and cap space, into God knows what sort of quick fix type of bullsh*t, which will assuredly result in more, alot more, wins in the short term, but at what cost? The Sixers brass can just lean on, "Hinkie only won a total of 47 games or whatever it was in 3 years, so see, we made the right move". It's a no lose situation for Bryan Colangelo. The whole thing wreaks. If you're behind the GM blowing it for all these years, and they clearly were behind the plan, let him actually work with the ingredients he set in place to capitalize on this offseason. It was finally time to reap the rewards of acquiring all these picks, hoarding all that cash, and stashing Saric/Embiid, and now he has to watch someone else cash in on what he did? It's horseshit. Josh Harris clearly is a coward and has no idea how to run a basketball franchise. You dont stand behind something for years, that is clearly being done for a purpose, and then pull the rug out from under the guy you supported this whole time just because your buddies in the owner's fraternity wanna buy a 4th yacht this summer. F*ck you, Josh Harris. You're just gonna sell the damn team anyway, F*cking weasal.
