Spud2nique Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 First off..kudos on the title my man! That’s stroooooonnng..(Olson twin flexing strong). Secondly regarding the actual news, Sixers screwed up big time. It’s almost as bad as hiring Grant Hill to be a part of your front office....... ? yeeeeaaa Good news is it dims their future thus helping us directly in the standings the next 2-8 years! 45 minutes ago, JayBirdHawk said: He's gonna be a yes man - don't like it.

thecampster Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm sorry but I love Elton Brand, loved his time with the Hawks and I greatly prefer basketball people making basketball decisions. Congrats Elton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats Elton. Don't lie to us, camp. You're not sorry at all. Also, every GM is a 'basketball' person so I guess you're saying you prefer former players to be GM? I think you'd find successful ex-player GM's to be a bit of a rarity. Certainly a less successful bunch than dudes who spend their career building toward being a GM. Most players, as I suspect is the case in PHI, are gifted GM gigs without truly having the 'chops' to really handle the behind-the-scenes duties which is where GM's make their money. Brand will be fine in the press conference and such but whether or not he'll be able to guide them where they need to go is up in the air. If they wanted to go the ex-player route, Malik Rose is a much more accomplished candidate. This hiring smacks of them wanting a dude they can control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons they passed on David Griffin was he wanted final say....Philly wants the 'collaborative approach' hence Elton Brand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I like the move, I wouldn’t be pessimistic about it before he’s given reason to be. That team fit is already pretty much set, big decisions is what’s he gonna do with Fultz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look bird me and u are like a couple vets that r tired of all this scrimmage against ourselves. It’s obviously you just tried to trip me with this post but it’s cool cuz I elbowed you a couple times in the past few posts. It’s just part of the nba long summer process. But i I like the comeback for sure with the fatty thing.. ? Season can’t start soon enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 His job will be recruiter in chief. Coach Brown will still have last word on personnel decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on all the coach/GM instances in the league that are blowing up like foil in the microwave, this isn't necessarily a good thing though is it?

I agree. One person handling the here and now, and another looking to the horizon is the way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg01 Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 After listening to him speak on the nbaradio 6ers preseason thingy ... eh, I'm even more low on this hire. Tried to convince folks Fultz could complete their big-3 so them striking out on Lebron, Kawhii, George, etc. wasn't that big a deal. Yeah, mmkay. Total shill for ownership. Thanks go out to the 6ers for ensuring their peak won't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look good but that's still TBD, bro. TBD. Remember, they weren't a playoff team 'til they got Belli' n 'Sova last year. Even then it took a miraculous finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
