Bob Myers, who currently serves as the president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, will lead the search for Philadelphia, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Myers previously served as the general manager for the Warriors from 2012 to 2023. While he didn’t draft the likes of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in Golden State, he made a multitude of ultra-impactful moves during his time with the team, including signing both Andre Iguodala and Kevin Durant.
Now in Philadelphia, Myers doesn’t plan to waste any time when it comes to identifying a successor for Morey.
“I know how much the 76ers mean to the City of Philadelphia, and it’s important we find the right leader to shape the future of this team,” Myers said in a statement.
“The process will start immediately, and we will be thorough and deliberate in our evaluations. I believe this is a destination for top talent across the league and look forward to solidifying our infrastructure moving forward.”
