The Complete Oral History of Kwame Brown's Time With the Philadelphia 76ers
In this special edition of the Sunday Morning Shootaround, we look back at Kwame Brown's time as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. The sad part about it all is that most of these quotes aren't made up. Rod Thorn, former President and General Manager, Philadelphia 76ers: After we lost to Miami [in the playoffs] in 2011, we knew that we had maxed out and that we had to get stronger on the front line. Doug [Collins] started lobbying for Kwame during that offseason, but nothing came of it until the following summer. Doug Collins, Analyst, ESPN; Former Head Coach, Philadelphia 76ers;...

Sixers vs. Bucks Preview
Who will save your SixersSoul? (Who will save your soul, boy?) The Sixers square off against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in a pivotal, no DQ Loser Leaves Town match. The good guys are fresh off a methodical 108-98 loss to the Raptors. I was in attendance on Wednesday; just hours after the news of Kwame Brown's release, and it was like the Wells Fargo Center just took a judo chop to the esophagus. The place was a morgue. Tanner wore all black, his wardrobe punctuated by a tasteful Aaron McKie jersey. A fitting tribute. My wife bought four beers, the fourth being for "our friend Kwame," and...

Elegiac: Kwame Brown
Saying goodbye to the most appropriate Sixer Ever since I was a child, one thing about relationships has always amazed me: that you can meet someone who's going to be incredibly important to you and not know it until years later. It's amazing, really. I can remember the first moment I met my wife, the first moment I met most of my close friends, and some of those relationships date back 20 years and didn't become at all significant for months or even years after. So it was with Kwame Brown--a monstrous obstruction of a man who came to the Sixers with my scorn and left yesterday, some 16...

Sixers release Kwame Brown
The Sixers announced Wednesday the release of veteran center Kwame Brown, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2001 NBA draft. Brown, 31, was on the books for $2.9 million this season and Philadelphia will swallow that amount even though the 12-year center hasn’t suited up yet this season because of a hamstring injury.

After Cutting Kwame, Sixers Sign Elliot Williams and Lorenzo Brown
At least we get to keep our Brown Quota in tact. Well, we didn't get Hinkie'd. Maybe Hinkie slow-played, but not the straight-to-the-mouth Hinkieing that we've come to expect since the Space Jam Basketball Jones Gods graced us with Samuel Clemens Hinkie half a year ago. Kwame Brown and Darius Morris were cut, and not even an hour later, we have their replacements -- Elliot Williams and Lorenzo Brown. Elliot played a year at Duke and a year at Memphis before turning pro and being drafted 22nd overall by Portland in 2010. Like all people who get drafted by Portland, he immediately got hurt....

Sixers Waive Kwame Brown, Darius Morris
This is the most important day in the history of this blog. Kwame Brown is no longer a Philadelphia 76er on paper, but he'll always be one in our hearts. Sam Hinkie has decided that enough is enough, and Kwame has been waived along with Darius Morris. There must be some corresponding moves coming, because Morris was the team's primary backup point guard, and since Michael Carter-Williams has been sidelined, they're certainly not flush with depth back there. Ears open on that one. Kwame Brown has played exactly zero minutes this season. Estimates on how many candy plates he's consumed are...
