is brett brown safe?

Brett Brown is as safe as it gets. everyone knew they were going to tank and the front office has been steadily removing talent all season (e.g. Spencer 'patty mills beast mode GOAT' Hawes)...

Sacking Brown would be like going for a sex tour of Thailand and complaining afterwards that your genitals spontaneously combusted. This is exactly what they expected would happen, it's not a surprise. Philly sucking is part of the plan.

In fact he was probably in more danger when they were winning! The games they did win with the better (although still meager) roster is proof enough that Brown's systems are on the right track.

No NBA coach is truly ever safe. It's the nature of professional sport. That said, I'd be shocked if they fired him. What was he supposed to do with this abomination of a roster and having one of his best players traded away mid season? The club can't go down the path they've decided to go down and then hang the coach out to dry. But I guess you never know.....

New Orleans was league-owned. They now have a private ownership group.

The NBA intervented with the Hornets-Lakers trade because they felt it was a bad deal for the franchise, not because of a talent disparity in the NBA.

Given they would have traded Chris Paul to remain a middle-of-the-pack team headlined by Gasol, Scola and Ariza, I think it was a smart decision despite the scrutiny from fans.

Correct, Mick.

If the league could veto trades under normal circumstances, I doubt we would have seen the infamous Lakers-Memphis 'Kwame Brown + expiring contracts, draft picks and cash for Pau Gasol' deal go down all those years ago.

76ers are tanking, no doubt about it. Brett Brown should be safe for the time being.

Pre season game, but first taste of NBA on Foxtel for the season.

Andrew Bogut playing tonight, there was a few trades with his team in the off season, looking forward to seeing if he can improve on last season's play.

Golden State always an interesting team to watch, no Ellis ( for 30 ), or Baron Davis will be interesting as well.

Also being played in China as well.

Milwaukee up 14 - 8 halfway through the first.
