Brett Brown has one season remaining on his contract, but the Sixers plan on working out a new deal with him long before his pact expires, as Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer relays.
“It happens all the time, but I don’t think it’s the healthiest of situations with coaching going into a season with one-year remaining on their contracts,” GM Bryan Colangelo said. “It impacts so many aspects of what you’re doing.”
“So I’m hopeful for the appropriate time we sit down and have some discussion with respect to his situation, and he realizes just how much we value him as the coach of this program.”
The franchise previously expressed a desire to keep Brown on the sidelines long-term. The former Spurs assistant led Philadelphia to a 52-30 record this past season, helping the team reach the postseason for the first time in six years.
The Bret Brown Clown Show continues!
Marvelous
The Sixers could have had a backcourt of Smith, Jr. and Jamal Murray. But nooooo the Brown Clown Show wanted Simmons to be the PG of the future. Simmons has sloppy passes and can’t inbounds the ball. Other than that he is a helluva point guard.
SMH To heck with the Sixers.
This has to be up there with the biggest clown comments. Murray over Simmons? Seriously? Stick to baseball.
Not with that postseason play calling…
Really? You rather have DS Jr & Jamaal Murray instead of Ben Simmons!!!!!
Yes, yes, I would
What are the Sixers going to resign Redick? I mean for what though, he could not always get separation to get a clean look at a three and for 24 million a year….SMH
I think they should keep him & see how he develops with the team as they grow & learn, particularly in the playoffs
One must wonder how much control Brett Brown really has in terms of in-game decisions. Playing Simmons at PG in crunch time instead of T.J. McConnell over and over again was more than a headscratcher. Sixers management obviously is more interested in marketing their stars Embiid and Simmons than winning games.
Brown has been an obedient puppet throughout “the process”, so why replace him with someone who might refuse to sacrifice his reputation for a paycheck?
