The 76ers were four bounces away from making it to the Eastern Conference Championship game last year. The focus after that game was on Joel Embiid and his emotion after. Many people were wondering how the 76ers would respond. During the offseason, they added Al Horford, traded for Josh Richardson, and vitally extended the contract of Ben Simmons. Sixers General Manager Elton Brand decided to get bigger, younger, and add some bench depth to help the team. Now the 76ers have all the talent, but how far that talent goes depends on the coaching ability of Brett Brown.
It’s Brown’s job to make sure that the team continues to improve in every game during the regular season.
