The NBA all but forced the Sixers's weak-kneed ownership into hiring Bryan Colangelo's daddy as a "chairman." The new chairman, under NBA directive no doubt, wanted Hinkie to get demoted to "stats boy" and have Bryan, the son, become the new GM so as to give the franchise some air of "respectability," despite not giving two (frank)s and a Hershey's kiss about other teams doing the same in a more incompetent manner. No nepotism there though -- it was purely a merit based hire. Hinkie, having pride, chose to resign to embark on a knowledge quest in California, Colangelo the Elder (of course) then stepped down to become an "advisor" and re-join his rattlesnake family in Arizona, and Bryan now once again had a GM job.

Did not know this. Philly screwed again it seems

Well sort of. He isn't GM anymore but they're actually in a position to succeed now.

Is anyone else worried that Hinkie's legacy is going to be tarnished by that putz Colangelo? He already mucked up trading Okafor last year.

The beauty of what Hinkie has done is that 76ers will get the Lakers first round pick next year, followed by Sacramento's pick the following. Both teams are tire fires at the moment.

Yes and no. I think the Sixers will screw up "the process", but in reality, they will continue the trend put forth by Hinkie by continually being a bottom-3 team year after year.
