Brand, 46, is nearing a decade of work in high-ranking positions within the Sixers' front office after his playing career ended. He became the lead decision-maker in the organization's basketball operations department after the scandal-incited resignation of Bryan Colangelo, but when the team hired Daryl Morey as its new President of Basketball Operations, Brand settled into the second-highest-ranking position, where he has been for nearly five years.
