(Sixers Coach Brett) Brown knew the unspeakable was possible when he took the job. So did Popovich. In the summer of 2013, when the 76ers offered Brown a three-year contract, Brown went to Popovich for advice.
Popovich told him: Don’t accept anything less than four years.
Brown is stuck in coaching hell, repeating last season’s lottery dive. Brown works without talent, veterans and a practice facility.
For Brown, as competitive as Popovich, it has been a grind. But Brown has remained optimistic, and he’s just as optimistic that the franchise’s general manager, Sam Hinkie, is invested in him.
