Philadelphia 76ers are parting ways with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, they announced on Tuesday. Former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers, now the president of sports for the Sixers' parent company, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, will lead the search for a new leader of basketball operations for team owner Josh Harris. Myers will also lead the department in the interim.
"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 in a statement. "After speaking with Daryl, we determined that it was time for a fresh start. Bob Myers will lead the process of identifying a new leader and I believe his experience in constructing four NBA championship teams will be a valuable resource to our organization.
