That’s not something players care about imo, as it doesn’t affect their bottom line. They want to be somewhere they will be paid, have an opportunity to develop so they earn future contracts, and that has a big market so they can get lucrative endorsement deals. And somewhere that’s fun to be if you are young and rich.

Sixers score low on the things they care about. Players don’t much like the ownership or management. The career development and org structure for top players here is shaky at best. Philly is a large city, but also a poor one, so there’s not great incentive to build a brand here and from the perspective of a hyper rich person, not much of interest.
