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.

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."
