Five reasons the 76ers extending Brett Brown was a good move

4. The look of stability

Again, the turnover regarding the Sixers’ roster in the Hinkie era has been astonishing. They haven’t made any big moves in free agency, have seemingly rotated in replacement level (or even sub-replacement level) talent around their draft selections and even shipped some of those draft selections out of town at times. That undoubtedly presents a front of instability and unreliability.

However, for the players like Noel and rookie Jahlil Okafor, the franchise has to display at least some form of stability within the organization. While many fans and even people around the league are starting to turn on Hinkie and the front office, keeping Brown in place is a great way to show the young players and fans that there is at least something to rely on in this tumultuous organization.

Moreover, promising that kind of stability also gives an implied promise that better days are not far ahead for the Sixers. By extending Brown at this time, it gives a promise that the “Process” isn’t yet completed and that the head coach will soon have the opportunity to coach an NBA basketball team and not be forced to manage whatever you would prefer to call what the Sixers put on the floor for every game.
