I don’t pretend to know whether Bryan Colangelo is the right man at the right time to pilot the extensive rehabilitation work former 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie started, got wounded through, and eventually abandoned. I do know that, like Hinkie, Colangelo has his supporters and his critics, his career dotted with qualified successes and questionable moves, like the time he traded Jason Kidd for Stephon Marbury.
So I was more than a little interested – intrigued really – when I came across a podcast the other day, a conversation lasting more than an hour, between good friend and Yahoo NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski and Cleveland Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin.
