As the frustration between player Nerlens Noel and coach Brett Brown builds, Bryan Colangelo is mishandling the team with clumsy misuse of media and messaging

Bryan Colangelo might as well be quoted as saying: “I am not my predecessor’s keeper”. He could not have done more damage across the board as he did with this message out today.

Let’s not misread the facts. Technically, he is correct. Technically, he arrived to the team with Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, and Joel Embiid on the roster. He came to the club knowing the team had three potential starting centers.  But the team had time.  The team had incentive.

Nothing happened.

More from The Sixer Sense

Bryan Colangelo was the basketball minded executive with connections to other basketball executives, to player agents, and to the media.  His was a new direction, open communication and frank honest dealings with the business side of things.

He talked about building versus rebuilding. But the truth is that this team has already converted to building a championship roster from the moment Joel Embiid and Dario Saric would join the team in the 2016-2017 season.
