Overview
- The 76ers dismissed Daryl Morey in mid‑May and tapped HBSE president of sports Bob Myers to run the search for a new president of basketball operations.
- Myers is expected to interview Cleveland GM Mike Gansey, Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd and Phoenix Mercury GM Nick U'Ren this week as early candidates to lead daily basketball operations.
- Longtime executive Neil Olshey is not pursuing the job and Atlanta’s Onsi Saleh is unlikely to be available, narrowing the early field of contenders.
- Philadelphia hopes to name a hire before the June 2026 NBA Draft but has said Myers would make draft‑night decisions if no replacement is finalized.
- Reporting highlights uncertainty over who will hold true day‑to‑day power if a new president is hired because Myers intends to stay involved while owner Josh Harris favors Myers taking a larger role.
