Um, no... the problem IS the owner. Yeah, he did a great job for the Flyers, but he pays absolutely no attention to the Sixers. Why do you think King still has a job?I am praying this team is sold, and the new owner is more of a basketball enthusiast.

So the problem is the gm. If it is sold it might be moved right? So I don't know if it's a good idea.

Like you said, King only has a job because they are friends, so King can do whatever the hell he wants and he won't get fired.Also, most of the time when a team is sold it won't be moved. They are only moved if the city won't help pay for a new arena, or if they have a horrible fanbase, etc., but Philadelphia doesn't have to worry about either of those at the moment. Also, I'm sure the NBA will not allow them to move a team out of Philly because of the basketball history there.
As long as they stay in Philly and keep the same name it's cool with me. Ed Snider probably spends 90% of his time with the Flyers and maybe 10% with the Sixers. Seriously. Fire Billy King damnit too. I'd make a better GM than him...

And at some point he will get fired anyway. If they were not friends Billy King would have been fired now. But hey he will only get a few more seasons to start fixing the team if not even though they are friends Snider will at some point fire him if things don't change.I would say it's a great idea to sell the team, but I worry a little then you never know they might move somewhere else even though it probably won't be the case your right.

Your a fan just thinking that is the case.And I agree that he spends a lot more time on the Flyers, but still you can't possibly know that for sure. And also it's not as much more time as you make it seem probably.

Damn we better keep him. But yes ATL can't get enough fans for one team. So I am sure if they have 2 teams games would be sold out. lol
