Philadelphia 76ers Gm Sam Hinkie is not the most popular guy in town right now, and can could use a spike in his approval rating.
Hinkie addressed the media Tuesday via conference call to discuss the organizations part in the trade that sent Thaddeus Young to the Timberwolves for another first-round pick.
During the conversation Joel Embiid’s social media and Twitter popularity was brought up. Embiid has brought a unique freshness to Twitter and allowed NBA fans to enjoy his personality.
Hinkie seems to be a fan of Embiid’s approach to tweeting and even joked that he’d like the injured center to help him get his followers up.
