Brett Brown...

[Old School 44]

Or with Doc or with George Karl or Steve Kerr or with damn near any coach in the league. Having an assistant who was trained under Pop is a positive thing. I cannot imagine Brett Brown looking too hard for an assistant coaching spot.

True, the Spurs influence extends a long way. I just think he'd end up back with guys he's probably closest to.

On Hinkie getting potentially undercut..

Here's Windhorst: "Despite Colangelo's affirming Hinkie will retain final say on personnel matters and Harris' saying this move was not a deviation from their plan, those who know Colangelo believe he will have major influence on significant decisions going forward.

"Here's USA Today's Jeff Zillgitt, who was the first to report that Silver was involved: "Don't mistake this as a PR move or a consultation role. The 76ers hired Colangelo to rebuild the team faster than Hinkie."

Here's Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski: "Ownership short-circuited Hinkie's tanking process on Monday, inserting Colangelo, 76, as the special adviser to the managing general partner and chairman of basketball operations." Woj used the word "usurping" elsewhere.

This is not a PR stunt, y'all.

I saw articles on a contract extension yesterday, so doubt he's on the way out (unless by his own volition).

Pretty crazy that his record warrants an extension.

I cannot see a coach moving backwards to what he was doing before nor could I see Pop allowing it. Pop is about bringing in fresh blood and giving ex-players a try as assistant coach. Brett set out on his walkabout, he's not coming back.

From Woj article..

Despite the usurping of general manager Sam Hinkie’s authority with the hiring of Jerry Colangelo, coach Brett Brown remains firmly in the Philadelphia 76ers' future plans, league sources told Yahoo Sports.Sixers ownership has already been discussing a contract extension for Brown, who has a year and a half left on his original four-year deal, league sources told Yahoo.

Oh yeah he is to blame as well. No franchise has such an abortion of a showing without each and every single employee ing up. Screw him and swnd him back to kangarooland.

The Philly FO was the one who snow balled. He actually had a winning record his first year until Philly pulled the plug on him early in the season.

Brown's offense got that corner three open how many times? How many times did they air ball it? I've never seen anything like that in a pro game. Those guards should be in the d-league if that. They have Noel, Okafor, and Covington and that is it. They have no outside shooting. Just a terrible roster.

They have Embiid if he ever walks again. If he comes back next year and they win 40 games for whatever reason, Brett will be a CotY candidate.

[SAGirl]

Well anyone worth anything he's had to work with has been taken away. Hinkie treated players like trade chips. Anyone who showed any improvement and could be traded for something they gave out. Anyone helping win some games MCW, Young, they sent out and brought the worst they could find.

It's a hapless situation for any of those young players in there, and probably yes, the culture suffers. They are not motivated, they likely don't work very hard, and have all sorts of mishaps like Okafor and Embiid's diva at ude.

Pop said he wouldn't last there a month, with good reason. He would probably fire himself.
