Why did the Philadelphia 76ers forget to get a backup center?

One thing that is firmly established, in the opinion of managing owner Josh Harris and coach (and former interim GM) Brett Brown, is that the Philadelphia 76ers basketball operations staff are all great at their respective jobs, and Sixers fans should be thrilled to have such brilliant minds working on their behalf.

Here is Harris from last August to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Amy Fadool:

“… One of the things that [former president of basketball operations] Bryan Colangelo did really well was, we built a great staff, whether it be [vice president of basketball operations and chief of staff] Ned Cohen or [vice president of analytics and strategy] Alex Rucker or [vice president of player personnel] Marc Eversley or [Delaware Blue Coats general manger] Elton Brand, we have a lot of great people.
