Leaks, team meetings, losses: The factors driving the Philadelphia 76ers' dreadful start

THE JULY 6 POST on Daryl Morey's Instagram page is even more perfectly staged than anyone in the photo realized. Morey, the Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations is on the left, dressed in all black with a blue suit jacket. General manager Elton Brand has his arm around him. Free agent forward Paul George, wearing sweat shorts and an Allen Iverson T-shirt, has his arms around owner Josh Harris and assistant general manager Peter Dinwiddie. And none other than Hall of Famer Julius Erving is on the far right, with a black leather baseball cap in his hand.
