[Jack Straw]

I give him credit for doing the right thing. It was an untenable situation.

The 76ers allowed him to resign in lieu of getting fired. He didn't do the right thing. It's purely semantics.

This was always the end result. There's no way he could continue working for that team, especially in that position, given what transpired.

His dad threatening to sabatoge the team if they fired them is hilarious.

This is great karma for what the league did to hinkie. For the organization as well.

This f***ing family, lol.

Wonder what Embiid and other recipients of the mudslinging had to say about this totally expected conclusion.

A lot of people are throwing out David Griffin's name as a replacement.

Pretty sure they (especially Sixers fans) are doing so for one specific reason.

For sure but I think he's also considered a pretty good GM. Some curious moves on his resume but you have to wonder what role Gilbert and LeBron played in those as well. Both LeBron and Kyrie trusting him and having very good relationships with him helps his reputation and it'd be a change from both Hinkie and Colangelo.

That's kind of what would worry me, particularly the role LeBron played. If he has that kind of influence with Griffin, well, I don't want to see the Sixers end up where the Cavs are now.

The main difference would be that the Sixers would have a bunch of good players to fall back on once LeBron left. I don't think he'd go to Philly though so it probably doesn't really matter.

Just bring back Hinkie lol. That'll really complete the process.

Honestly I don't believe that story.

Jerry has too much respect for the game and the NBA to have done that. He's a basketball lifer who's highly regarded, why throw a hissy fit when he can easily plug his son in elsewhere? Maybe not as GM, but at least in a high up position.
