The Sixers’ GM wants to extend his tenure in Philadelphia.

The Sixers’ 2019-20 season was memorable for all the wrong reasons. To the extent that, frankly, it wasn’t all that memorable. In a year that was supposed to be Philadelphia’s arrival on the big stage, the Sixers instead limped to sixth place and a first-round exit.

Brett Brown was fired. The players underwent scrutiny. And now it’s time to put pressure on the front office, where the bulk of the blame should (and does) lie. The Sixers failed because of roster construction.
