I too would be interested in being the Sixers’ GM, though the working relationship with Doug Collins would make me nervous. If asked, I’d probably say “yes sir” too. Actually, I’d probably say “sure,” but you get the point.

According to Wojnarowski, whether the Sixers actively pursue Ferry may depend on how much say over personnel decisions the organization wants to hand over to Collins. There has been contact between Philadelphia and Ferry, however, so this appears to be more than just a passing rumor.
