Sixers draft targets -

BREAKING: #Sixers private workout participants: Mason Plumlee, Shabazz Muhammad, Kelly Olynyk, Norvel Pelle, Scott Wood, and one other. #Inq

Been told by a source that Norvel Pelle is preferred over the participants from today's workout including Olynyk & Shabazz #Sixers #Inq

Huh. Color me intrigued!

Not sure he'd be interested, but would not shock me at all if the Sixers' revamped front office called Karl ASAP.

Sean talked about this one, but it's so intriguing I have to post it again.

There have been no formal requests by teams to speak with Joerger. However, Philadelphia is said to be interested, CA sources say.

BEST OF LIBERTY BALLERS:

Why A Lower-Than-Expected Cap Is A Good Thing For The Sixers
A good explanation of cap stuff. So much MATH and NUMBERS that my brain hurts. Excited for the off-season yet?

NBA Finals: 14 Minutes, 10 Points, 6 Fouls, 12 Years Later
Geiger. The greatest stat line of all time. Or at least that's what Baumann thinks.

Mount BUSTmore: Four Sixers Shrined in Granite Immortality
They said we couldn't put knees on a mountain. They were WRONG.

Interesting note from Zach Lowe in this piece. We've previously discussed Finch at LB.

"Chris Finch, a Houston assistant and coach of Great Britain’s national team, is a name to watch [for the Sixers coaching job]. Finch has also coached Houston’s D-League affiliate in Rio Grande, and developed a strong working relationship with the parent club from that perch."

Give me Finch or give me pank.

Norvel Pelle remains a mystery to NBA teams after turning pro without playing college hoops - The Dagger
So intriguing.

Sixers GM Sam Hinkie lying low; no coaching hire in sight - Philly.com
Come on Sixers hire someone already I'm bored and I've said that a thousand times already.
