Report: Owners Pressured NBA to Get Involved in the Sixers’ Business

Adam Silver and NBA owners pushed Sixers to hire Jerry Colangelo, according to @espn. https://t.co/hkhXRXNW84

Do you really think that the owners had an issue with the “economic drag” or were they really just bothered with Sam Hinkie’s plan? I say the latter. You tell us.
