After their game 4 loss against the Boston Celtics completing the sweep, the Philadelphia 76ers organization had soon made the decision to part ways with Head Coach Brett Brown, believing that it is time to take a new direction in hopes of taking the team further than its current state.

Basketball fans were left to wonder what’s to happen with the roster, which was soon answered by 76ers GM Elton Brand discussing how he simply wants to build a better team around their household names in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. As I’m sure many fans were questioning the decision to part ways with Brown, the 76ers just may be making the right moves, as recent history has proven to us. As of the year 2015, the 3 teams that have won the NBA Championship (Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Toronto Raptors) were all led by first year coaches in Tyronn Lue, Nick Nurse, and the most prolific of the three in Steve Kerr. Now with that being said, simply changing a Head Coach may not instantly propel the 76ers into the NBA Finals, but surely is a step in a direction that may be needed for the organization, as told by history itself. With this we wait in anticipation for any future news regarding the 76ers at this time as the Playoff Race continues in the NBA.
