But the Sixers' chairman said he was comfortable with the direction the franchise was headed in, even though the team was likely to be picked by many to finish last in the five-team Atlantic Division. Unlike previous seasons, when the Sixers tried to find players who would fit into Allen Iverson's style of play, the Sixers, according to Snider, aren't going for any quick fixes this time.

Glass wouldn't confirm or deny the story in SI.com stating that Brown almost accepted a position to become an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics. It reported that Brown turned the job down after talking to Sixers chairman Ed Snider, who persuaded him to remain with the team. Snider was unavailable for comment yesterday, and Glass wouldn't discuss specifics involving the Celtics. The agent said Brown also was not available for comment.

Glass said it wouldn't be appropriate to comment on any prospective job offers. "Right now, Larry is working hard, scouting, evaluating talent, and helping the 76ers," Glass said. Brown was quoted in the story as saying he would like to get back into coaching, but added that he doesn't want to do it at the expense of current Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks, who is in the final year of his contract.
