The Sixers brought in Jerry Colangelo in part to improve relations with the rest of the league, but an even earlier hire afforded one of their staffers a dinner with one of the league's top players.
Sixers.com's Brian Seltzer with the word:
Kevin Durant had dinner w/ Sixers Asst. Coach for Strength/Conditioning Todd Wright yest. Called him father figure. "Can't describe impact."

We covered the bond between Wright and Durant last summer, so it's not a huge surprise they'd chat it up when given an opportunity.
