Daily News | How the Sixers’ proposed new arena vaults them into the NBA arms race: ‘We’re really only limited by our imagination’
When Tad Brown walked through the 76ers’ section of the Wells Fargo Center last year, he immediately concluded it was “not up to NBA standards.”
The term “arms race” has long been connected to college sports, where glitzy facilities featuring waterfalls, miniature golf courses and barbershops — along with more practical amenities such as nutrition stations, hydrotherapy pools, and expansive weight rooms — dazzle teenagers choosing a program. Yet recruiting tools can also be applied to the NBA, where uniformity in types of contracts available means other factors could determine where a free agent signs.
“To get that kind of responsiveness to our players creates an overall environment where they’re telling other players around the league, ‘Hey, we wanted this and we were able to get it,’” Morey told The Inquirer. “[Then our players will get responses like], ‘Oh, you got something that quick? How did that happen?’”
The Sixers also are planning to produce ample room for several coaches to meet with players individually — which Morey said is currently tricky inside the Wells Fargo Center — along with medical resources close by and the ability to apply the latest player performance technology when the facility opens and beyond.
“The league always looks for those new, best, greatest facilities that they can then show off to the world,” Brown said. “… It’s going to give us the opportunity to create that showcase moment.”
