On August 25, Elton Brand held a press conference after the Philadelphia 76ers’ season came to an end, and said that the Sixers needed to strengthen their organization from top to bottom and make changes to their front office. Well over a month has passed, and nothing has happened. Except for the odd murmur that executive vice president of basketball operations Alex Rucker might not return and a new president of basketball operations could be hired, we haven’t heard much.
Now, Yaron Weitzman, author of the brilliant book “Tanking to the Top”, has provided an update, reporting that the Sixers have started interviewing candidates to work in an executive role under Brand.
