The job of a general manager in the NBA is a thankless job, one that is always criticized yet offers very little praise when you get the job done right. And when you fail, you are ridiculed and maligned beyond measure! Well, sorry GMs, but that’s exactly what we plan to do as we recall […]

The Philadelphia 76ers has been a very dysfunctional NBA franchise for many years, making it painful at times to watch or even acknowledge them as a legitimate team in the league.
