So, where can the team even go from here?
It was inevitable that Brown was going to be gone, but surprising to see he's been the scapegoat for the entire fuck-up. I know, I know Brand is reevaluating the Front Office, going to bring in some basketball minds. I doubt it was analytics that suggested pairing your 2 young franchise stars that work best inside the arc with 2 high priced players that bring the same, though at bloated contracts well above their abilities. The fact they chose to sign the guy that whiffed in the playoffs over the one that was the best on the team during them takes away any need for them to throw good money after bad after trading away so many assets for them both. But again, I'm glad the GM who presided over the roster construction is trying to figure out how this happened.
And this is the same brain trust that will be in charge of finding a coach to make this clusterfuck of a roster work. Not to mention try and figure out how they can improve upon the pieces they have, which from the trades I've seen floating out there involve giving up more assets just so they can offload Horford while bringing in Chris Paul at $41M a year, which should clear the cap nicely in 2 years when he is off the books and Embiid leaves shortly afterwards to go someplace that knows what the fuck they're doing.
Thoughts?
