I was worried they would get our guy Zarren. I don't think this is a great hire by them, because it seems like their snake filled ownership group will still pull the strings.

earlier this summer, social media mentioned Mike Zarren as a potential candidate...

Yeah, losing him would have been tough, but losing him to the Sixers would have been terrible. He reportedly withdrew, so I figure Ainge and ownership made him a promise to stay.

Well, of course they did. Who else is gonna run the Janos Twitter account???

Ownership is certainly a huge advantage in our favor.  Definitely not a great hire for them but don't think there was anybody available that was good enough to be worth disrupting their existing management structure.

The Sixers already have a Center with a major injury history, 2 young guards who skipped freshman year due to injury, another current rookie missing the pine. Hey why not hire an injury prone GM!

Elton John would have been a better choice.

It remains to be seen, but I too, think this was a bold over reach and will come back to bite them.
