Report: With Sixers hiring Colangelo, 'it's clear' Sam Hinkie has been fired
How Sam Hinkie, who is in his third year as a first-time GM, fits into the equation going forward is unclear. Hinkie should still have some input, but he's not calling the shots anymore. A Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer with his reputation/legacy on the line, Colangelo doesn't accept a job like this to take orders from somebody else.
"It's clear (Hinkie) has, for all intents and purposes, been fired," said the second source, comparing it to when Ed Snider hired Rod Thorn as team president in August 2010 and put Thorn in charge of then-GM Ed Stefanski (Harris fired Stefanski 14 months later).
The 76ers have been in this situation before, and that might not be a good sign for Sam Hinkie.
The team hired Ed Stefanski on Dec. 4, 2007 as general manager and team president to uplift what had been a fallen franchise. After he failed to shape them into a winner after three seasons, the Sixers brought in Rod Thorn to be the new team president on Aug. 12, 2010. Stefanski stayed on as general manager.
"But they basically cut out all of his power," a league executive said of Stefanski. "Ed was gone before the start of the next season."
The official announcement that Stefanski had been let go came during the Oct. 18, 2011 introductory press conference for the then new Sixers co-manager partner, Josh Harris.

cmq, è morto Dolph Schayes, leggenda Nats/Sixers.
