Elton Brand says he’s not looking to trade Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid
The 76ers GM said the team will not be rushing to select their new coach
Philadelphia 76ers GM Elton Brand talks with the media after the firing of Brett Brown.
“It’s a difficult day for this organization. We had high expectations and goals, and simply put, we failed. We failed and it’s not acceptable.
I’ve recognized that hard changes in the offseason are necessary to get this team back on track. Change can and will be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary.”
On the trade rumors about the two stars, Embiid and Simmons:
“I’m not looking to trade Ben or Joel. I’m looking to complement them better”
On the changes needed in the Front Office:
We’re strong in the strategic and analytic standpoint. Get some more basketball minds in here. But all options are open”
