According to ESPN's merciless Basketball Power Index, this collection of Sixers steps up to Year 3 of the Sam Hinkie Era with a 50 percent (or better) chance of victory in just four of 82 games this season. Worse yet: Denver's visit to Philly on Dec. 5 is the first of those four opportunities ... in game No. 20 of 82.

I honestly don't understand why the Sixers top brass are still allowing Hinkie to run this team. His rebuilding ploy is a massive sham and should be an embarrassment. Fans deserve better and the NBA allows a team to intentionally not try to win.

It will end this year.... Will have at least three and possibly four first round draft picks.... No money committed.... It may not work but much better than the years of mediocrity before hand.

I wish they'd strike gold in the draft and make basketball matter in Philly again. LAL and Knicks need to revive too, but I'm more fond of the 6ers

NBA owners lobbied league office for Philadelphia 76ers changes

Since the summer of 2014, NBA owners have been lobbying the league's front office to step in with regard to the direction of the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told ESPN.com on Monday night. It was that effort that helped lead to the hiring of Jerry Colangelo to a senior position earlier Monday, the sources said.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver was instrumental in forming the partnership between Colangelo and 76ers owner Joshua Harris, according to the sources.

Philadelphia's addition of Colangelo was received as positive news in league ownership circles, where Colangelo is respected as a former owner of the Phoenix Suns.

Owners routinely complained about the economic drag the 76ers were inflicting on the league as the revenues of one of the largest-market teams -- a franchise expected to contribute more robustly to league revenue-sharing -- sagged. For many teams, games featuring the starless and woeful 76ers as the visiting team have been the lowest-attended of the season, sources said.

Last year, the 76ers fought a proposal against reforming the NBA lottery rules because it would've disrupted their rebuilding plan, which is a transparent attempt to gain the highest draft picks possible by maximizing lottery odds over several seasons while developing young players.

This set the stage for other teams to challenge the 76ers' strategy as they haggled over the rule changes, sources said. Ultimately, lottery reform was voted down and tabled until at least 2017.

76ers sign Brown (38-150) to contract extension - ESPN



Hilarious that's the title of the link on ESPN. The title after you click the link is a quote from Brown... Brett Brown: 'I see great things that can happen' for 76ers. Funny guy. 1-23 team with their only win being against a 3-19 team. The only great thing he'll be seeing when it comes to Sixers is his paychecks.
