Why? Who knows! But the Sixers were reported to be interested in Shane Battier (along with Elton Brand, whom they signed) to serve in some sort of leadership-mentor role (presumably not as a player since Battier hasn’t played since 2014).
I guess they’re still talking.

Seems like Jerry Colangelo is putting his big, professional paws all over this team. Wonder if he Skype-ed in from Arizona?
Side note: Love how in that second Tweet Hinkie is full visible, while we just see the headless stroll of Battier.
