New thread as this article shows a different aspect of Sam Hinkie's resignation.

Some quotes:

Hinkie emailed his resignation letter in the afternoon to Sixers ownership, including 12 majority and minority owners, and Jerry Colangelo. He expected ownership to respond to him and work toward a joint public announcement on Thursday, sources said. Within two hours of sending the email, the letter had been leaked
From the moment Colangelo arrived on the job in December, Hinkie was doomed – no matter how hard Hinkie tried to work with Colangelo, no matter how hard he tried to accept and implement his advice. Around Hinkie, people were surprised at how optimistic he had been about finding a way to coexist with Colangelo, about working together.
He (Brian Colangelo) wanted no part of his father’s shadow again or the cries that he needed his father to give him a GM job.
Not going to lie, everyone was getting skeptical about Hinkie and his 3 year plan (which yes, in theory would have given results this summer), but could've waited until after the draft.

I really hope that the Colangelos don't turn this team into just a borderline playoff team -which is what they seem to be really good at- because that was the problem to begin with...
