After the disaster that was the Sixers’ interminable 2019-20 season, there is no shortage of blame to go around.
The lion’s share of the blame, justifiably, will go to the team’s ramshackle front office. Following two years of concerted messaging from the members at the top of the organization that incessantly extolled the virtues of the team’s “collaborative” structure, the experiment fell flat on its face this summer. Rather than benefiting from a group of diverse opinions from various executives, the structure only obscured exactly who had final say on personnel moves, and made it impossible to know who to blame when said decisions went up in flames.
