The 76ers just finished up a disappointing 2019-20 season where they fell well short of expectations being swept in Round 1 by the Celtics.
Inevitably, a finish like that brings changes to the organization.
The first domino was coach Brett Brown being fired on Monday in a difficult decision that had to be made.
The next decision will be looking at an awkward roster that did not fit well together all season.
Naturally, some would consider looking at moving Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid, but general manager Elton Brand shot that down fairly quickly on Tuesday.
I’m not looking to trade Ben or Joel, I’m looking to complement them better. They’re 24 and 26-years old, respectively, and you try to make that fit for as long as you can, Elton Brand told reporters.
They want to be here, they want to be with our organization, and I can see them here for a long, long time, Elton Brand told reporters
