The Colangelo Saga: How to screw the true ROTY?

I still think that with his background with DL that the Jazz should bring him on as a consultant. I think he’d be a great option to bounce ideas off of.

Could also bring Colangelo in as a consultant, too, especially with some new motivation to sink our rising EC rival.

Colangelo is a tool and this episode is going to cost the franchise some of its goodwill with players. Don’t want that stink anywhere near the Jazz. DL and Hinkie both got their starts in Houston together. You know what you’re getting with him.

That’s why he’s only a consultant. Anyone can be a consultant.

He's already consulting with someone...the Kings I believe.

That’s true. . . but not everyone would make a good consultant. I think Colangelo is overrated and Philly would’ve been much better off just keeping Hinkie and letting his vision mature. I highly doubt that he would have gotten hosed by Boston in the draft last year. Don’t think Colangelo is a guy worth pursuing.

Actually a week ago, Hinkie began working as a consultant for the Denver Broncos.

Did you know Harpring played football? I bet we could trade him to Denver and get something nice in return.

Hinkie was a genius and got it dirty.

He made mistakes... if he hadn’t been so brazen or if he had just tried to have the worst record in the league rather than having the worst record in the league by a mile then he coulda survived.

He executed openly the strategy that has the most likely chance of producing a championship... he just did it in a way that embarrassed the league. He is bright for sure but many new that was a strategy... no one could handle executing it. He’s a smart robot... had no issue with the emotions of losing and stuck to the tank. Teams fail often when they start the tank then get too excited or think they will get fired.

If anything should be celebrated about Hinkie it is his unwavering faith in the strategy.

The only thing Hinkie didn't survive was daddy Colangelo hiring his son. Without that factor he would still be in the seat. Hink deserves the credit for where Philly is today which is admirable.
 
I’ll be honest. Dating back many years, every time I’ve heard the name Sam Hinkie, it’s impossible for this image to not run through my mind somewhere:
