What Change is a Good Change for the Sixers?
I frankly have no idea who should be the next coach. I really wanted change, and it looks like we may finally get it.
It was announced after the Sixers let Brett Brown go that their front office would go through a massive overhaul. While that has yet to happen, it is fun to think of new people getting their hands on this organization.
The former regime has shown that they couldn’t do the job so any change is welcome at this point.
My question is, what changes exactly do the Sixers need?
Well, the Sixers need a coach that will first and foremost hold their players accountable. This is a common theme when hearing players talk about Brett Brown and his coaching style. Accountability in any sports is of the utmost importance, just look at the Flyers.
In a broader sense, the Sixers need better roster construction. Apparently, a “massive overhaul” of the front office does not include a change at General Manager, which is an entirely separate discussion. The Sixers front office must do a better job of building around Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, not trading them.
Embiid and Simmons are capable of playing together, but they need help around them to make them truly great. With the two assumed to be the focal point of the offense, the Sixers should not spend this offseason “star hunting” as Brett Brown would say. They need players around Embiid and Simmons to compliment their strengths. 3 and D guys are something that the team should long for this offseason.
The team has already done the hard part. They identified generational young talent through the draft. The only thing left to do is to add depth and complementary players.
Letting Brown go was the end of an era, and from here on out the Sixers have a chance to right their wrongs.
This offseason is extremely important in determining the future of a once-bright organization.
