Elton Brand seems like a great guy, very professional. But what is his credentials to have this position? What did he did in Philly to make him qualified?

Brand was a scrub GM in Philly

He’s one of the few Duke guys I like, but this makes no sense. He made great deals on the margins after inheriting Colangelo’s mess, built a juggernaut in his first six months that barely lost to Toronto, then destroyed it all by signing or extending five or six different PF/C during the 2019 offseason instead of paying Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick.

Yes, ATL, you may take Brand.
