76ers Hire Mike Gansey as President of Basketball Operations
The Philadelphia 76ers hired Mike Gansey as president of basketball operations, ESPN's Shams Charania reports, weeks after firing Daryl Morey following a second-round sweep by the Knicks. The 43-year-old spent 15 years in Cleveland, serving as the Cavaliers' general manager since 2022, and Bob Myers led the search that landed him. Nick Nurse stays on as coach, so the system carries over. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) tied to aging, hard-to-move max deals, a teardown isn't realistic, which keeps the rotation largely intact for fantasy purposes. The cleaner value lives in the young backcourt: Tyrese Maxey, fresh off an All-NBA nod, and VJ Edgecombe, who finished third in Rookie of the Year voting. Both see usage climb whenever the stars sit, and that's been often, giving them sturdier floors than the availability-dependent ceilings of Embiid and George.
