BREAKING NEWS

They've coveted Mo Cheeks for a long time so this is not a surprise. He would have been coach when Ayers got the job but Portland wouldn't let him talk and the same thing when O'Brien was hired. Although I think it's shady business the Sixers have made is not secret they've wanted Cheeks and now that he was available they finally went and got their man!
 
Jim O'Brien was a great coach.....Again...why isn't Larry Brown still there? I wonder why?
 
If you would have watched Stephen A. Smith's interview on Sportscenter tonight you would realize why Jim O'Brien isn't there anymore!
 
Most of the players including AI and C-Webb hated O'Brien...he seems more like a Celtic coach than a Sixers coach...now we have an all-time Sixers great in Philly...as a long time fan I am very happy.:)
