Fans called for Sixers to bring back Sam Hinkie
The Philadelphia 76ers announced Thursday that president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo resigned after a report from The Ringer linked him to a series of anonymous Twitter accounts. The team's investigation found that Colangelo's wife, Barbara Bottini, was the likely source of the accounts.
With Colangelo gone, the Sixers face a crucial decision to make ahead of a free agency period that will include a run at LeBron James.
Many NBA fans think the decision is simple: Bring back Sam Hinkie.
After the resignation was announced, fans took to Twitter to call on the Sixers to rehire the former general manager and mastermind of The Process. It almost certainly won't happen, but the jokes were great.
