The Philadelphia 76ers are still eyeing a major move in their front office, with sources confirming the team’s ongoing interest in former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers. Despite the franchise’s challenging season, led by President Daryl Morey, ownership—under Josh Harris—has not wavered in their pursuit of the two-time NBA Executive of the Year.
“Bob Myers is still very much in play,” league source revealed to NBA insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson. “Philadelphia hasn’t moved on. They still view him as someone who could elevate the entire operation.”
Myers, who helped build the Warriors’ dynasty, stepping down from his role as president and general manager in May 2023, has remained a desirable figure in the league. Though he has stayed involved with ESPN, sources close to him say that Myers would consider a return to the front office if the right opportunity arises—making the 76ers’ persistent interest particularly notable.
The Sixers’ pursuit of Myers is not new. They have been evaluating their leadership structure for over a year, seeking a championship-caliber executive to help guide the team into a sustainable future. With a roster centered around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George, Myers could be the stabilizing force the franchise needs.
“Josh Harris wants to win. He wants to build something sustainable and credible—Myers checks all those boxes,” another source noted.
The appeal of Myers extends beyond his four championships with the Warriors. He is seen as a premier basketball mind, balancing player relationships, ownership trust, and basketball IQ. His close ties to Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, who represents Maxey, could further benefit the Sixers’ roster construction. Players across generations—from Stephen Curry to LeBron James—respect Myers for his leadership and vision.
Philadelphia is at a crossroads. After a disappointing 24-58 finish to the season, the team’s leadership, including head coach Nick Nurse and Morey, has acknowledged the need for change. Injuries and roster imbalances led to a rough stretch, but with cap flexibility and a top-six pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Sixers are positioning themselves for a significant roster overhaul.
“If we bring in Myers, this wouldn’t just be a hire—it would be a message,” one source said. “Philadelphia is not just trying to make noise—they’re trying to build something that lasts.”
As of now, Myers has not made any public commitment, but the ongoing discussions suggest that the 76ers are not ready to move on. With the franchise looking to regroup and refocus, the potential of adding a front-office leader like Myers is still very much alive.
