76ers Narrow Front‑Office Search to Four Finalists for Morey’s Job

Selecting the new leader will determine who controls the 22nd draft pick and could reshape the team’s offseason staff.

Overview

  • Reporting from late May says Bob Myers has narrowed the search to four main candidates: Mike Gansey, Matt Lloyd, Nick U’Ren and internal aide Jameer Nelson.
  • Jameer Nelson is the only internal finalist and is widely expected to be promoted at least to general manager even if an outside candidate is hired.
  • Myers is running the process and the club aims to resolve leadership or at least decision authority before the June draft so someone can make draft‑night calls for the 22nd pick.
  • Philadelphia has granted the Los Angeles Lakers permission to interview vice president of player personnel Prosper Karangwa and the Dallas Mavericks have shown interest, creating a retention risk for a key evaluator.
  • Elton Brand continues to scout for the team while the organization weighs moving him into a different role as the front‑office structure is reconfigured.
