 If the Sixers are looking for their next general manager, Charles Barkley is interested in applying for the job.

 

94WIP’s Anthony Gargano is reporting that Charles Barkley would be interesting in becoming the new Sixers general manager. Gargano asked Barkley via text message if he’d be interested in being the Sixers GM, and Barkley responded “yes sir.”

A report surfaced earlier today that the Sixers are interviewing candidates to be the successor to Rod Thorn as president (and/or general manager) of the Sixers. A later report suggested that former Cleveland GM Danny Ferry is the frontrunner for the job.

Thorn is both Sixers president and general manager, having assumed the GM post when Ed Stefanski left for the Toronto Raptors before the 2011-’12 season.

Barkley spent eight seasons with the Sixers as a player, before being traded to the Phoenix Suns. He has not held a front office position in the NBA.

 

 

How do you think Chuck would be as a GM?

but anyone who saw his all-star draft knows he doesn’t know how to pick a team.

 Chuck is a great commentator. I am 100% sure that Barkley would be interested, but I highly doubt the Sixers are.

NBA on TNT because of Barkley & the crew.  It wouldn’t be as entertaining without him.  Hopefully he stays as an analyst.

 @Chewy

I believe that Chucks team won because he wasn’t an idiot and picked 5 PGs like Shaq did lol.

As much as I would love to see Charles Barkley give a run as GM (I mean, Steve Kerr had a chance so why not), I just think his job at TNT is too good to let go. You get paid millions of $$$ to work once a week (sometimes 2) and plus all those companies offer you commercial opportunities. To quote Randy Moss, "STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE!"

 Terrible, Terrible, Terrible

you are definently right about that. I was thinking of Shaq’s team when I made the post and after when I realized it I couldn’t edit the post.

I select Allen Iverson with my First Overall Pick. Wait!!
I actually like to see this because Chuck shows great understanding for the game and as a commentator has experience in handling media and see the whole process of being a gm

He’s good for funny talk, but he will be a disaster as a GM.
