Philadelphia 76ers hire Elton Brand as GM

Let's all take a collective deep breath - the Philadelphia 76ers have their man.

It never looked like there was any traction to the idea of Mike Zarren leaving the Boston Celtics to accept a position with the 76ers for their vacant General Manager position, but it was worth worrying about, at least a little.

Of course, Zarren already turned down the job before the "Process" had even started, but there was always the risk that a team in a more favorable position on the rebuild arc might be at least a little alluring.
