Sixers coach Brett Brown admits 'human side' of Mikal Bridges trade was 'disturbing'

Make no mistake, Brett Brown is happy with how Thursday night unfolded and thinks the 76ers made the right decisions for the team. But there was one part of the draft that was particularly difficult for the interim general manager.

“The human side of tonight is disturbing,” Brown said late Thursday night.

The Sixers selected Mikal Bridges with the 10th pick in the draft. He was the guy that was highest on their board, the one they had targeted and intended to bring into the fold. He is the homegrown product from Villanova. He was only a 76er for about 45 minutes.
