Apparently Philadelphia 76ers head coach, Brett Brown, still thinks this team in ‘Tankadelphia’ has a chance to do some damage this season. Or at least in the future. Apparently Brown thought very highly of second year player, Brandon Davies who was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
Check out Brown’s comments to Dei Lynam of CSNPhilly.com
“When you start losing people that you are very fond of and have tremendous respect for … there is a human side of it that bothers me because you are trying to grow chemistry, you are trying to grow a culture,” Brown said after Thursday’s practice.
“That takes a hit when teammates lose teammates. There is a respect, effort-wise, of how they go about their business. There is a reality to our job that is just business in the NBA, but it doesn’t mean it has to feel right.” …
“It is a tremendous challenge to keep the locker room together if they lose a teammate or friend. It is a tremendous challenge to have a semblance of order or purpose on offense or with rules on defense. It is just such a volatile situation at times.”
That’s not a good thing if you have your head coach upset over a trade. Team cohesiveness is key, especially when you’re as down on your luck as the Sixers are.
