The Philadelphia 76ers threw us all a curveball by hiring Delaware Blue Coats GM and former Sixer Elton Brand to be the new general manager. Elton Brand has only been retired since 2016. The Sixers explored internal candidates, such as Alex Rucker and Ned Cohen. They also went outside the organization, interviewing Justin Zanik and Gersson Rosas more than once.
A “Woj Bomb” on Sept.18 put an end to the speculation, officially tabbing EB as the man in charge. Sixers fans are all across the board. Some love the move, some are indifferent, and others flat-out do not like it.
