76ers managing partner Josh Harris announced the news in a prepared statement on Tuesday evening, notifying fans of the major change in leadership.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Daryl personally and professionally, and I'm grateful for his contributions over the last six seasons," Harris said via ESPN. "After speaking with Daryl, we determined that it was time for a fresh start."
But what are the chances of Bob Myers , a former Golden State Warriors executive who now serves as president of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE), the managing entity of the 76ers, taking over the position vacated by Morey? According to ESPN Insider Ramona Shelburne, those chances aren't likely.
"I don't think Bob Myers is going to be their GM," Shelburne said via The Rich Eisen Show. "The only way that would happen is if they really can't find someone that everyone likes, and if Josh Harris asked Bob Myers to do that….I'll say this about Bob Myers; I don't think he wants that job. He's not trying to take over as President [of Basketball Operations], he has a good job, working for Josh Harris and all [of his teams]. I do think him being around, he's evaluating, but I don't think that's a replacement for you."
Myers previously served as GM of the Warriors from 2012 to 2023, winning four NBA championships.
