Myers, Sixers Looking for Collaborative Approach From Next GM to Help Philadelphia Win a Championship
Bob Myers is leading the search for a collaborative replacement as Philadelphia tries to rebound from a second-round exit and stay flexible for the draft.
- The Philadelphia 76ers fired general manager Daryl Morey on Tuesday after six seasons, following a second-round playoff sweep by the New York Knicks.
- During his tenure, Morey compiled a 270-212 regular-season record but never advanced past the second round, while facing criticism for trading player Jared McCain to Oklahoma City.
- Bob Myers, who is overseeing the search, said Thursday he seeks a collaborative leader, noting, "You need good people that are in harmony."
- Managing Partner Josh Harris reiterated his commitment to coach Nick Nurse and confirmed the organization's willingness to exceed the luxury tax despite postseason frustration.
- Myers hopes to hire a replacement before the June 23 NBA Draft while evaluating whether the roster built around Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe can win.
