If betting had been legal at the time, you would have made a lot of money if you put down some scratch that Elton Brand would be named the new general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers.
After finishing up a 17-year NBA career with the 10-win 76ers of 2015-16, the two-time All-Star and former No. 1 overall draft pick had taken some minor roles with the organization.
He started as a player development coach in December 2016 and moved on to be GM of the G-League Delaware Blue Coats. In the spring of 2018, then-GM Bryan Colangelo made Brand a vice president of basketball operations.
