It’s sweet relief for the Philadelphia 76ers and their fan base now that Elton Brand has been hired as the team’s new general manager (GM). However, there’s no time for Brand to take his job easy going into the preseason. While the situations surrounding big name stars like Anthony Davis and Jimmy Butler deserve Brand’s attention, the most pressing issue Brand should focus on resolving is the status of Jerryd Bayless.
Multiple times I have written about different options for the Sixers to rid themselves of Bayless and his contract.
