Some Around NBA Warn Brett Brown He Could Be Eventually Cast Aside By 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers could one day have a talented roster, despite an 0-17 start to the season.

For now, Brett Brown has taken losses and faces the question of whether he will remain as the 76ers' coach for the roster's upswing.

“Not skipping steps,” Brown said. “Not cheating days. Valuing relationships. Caring for the players. Making it a high level of accountability. Keeping it real. And somewhere out there, growth has a chance.”

Some in the NBA have warned Brown he will eventually be cast aside, according to a report.

Brown has followed Gregg Popovich's path and has retained the San Antonio Spurs coach's support. Popovich suggested to Brown in 2013 not to accept anything less than a four-year deal when the 76ers offered a three-year contract.
