Former Rockets GM Morey joins 76ers, say reports
Print Edition
Former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey is the new president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN reported on Wednesday.
Sources told ESPN that general manager Elton Brand would remain in his current position and that new head coach Doc Rivers supports the hiring of Morey, who resigned his position with the Rockets on October 15. The Athletic reported that Morey would sign a five-year deal. Morey, 48, announced earlier this month he would be leaving the Rockets effective on November 1 after 13 seasons at the helm of the franchise, including an active streak of eight straight playoff appearances. “For me, it was just a great run,” he told ESPN earlier this month about departing Houston. “Personally, the timing worked for me. My youngest son just graduated from high school, and it was just the right time to see what’s next with family and other potential things in the future. It just felt like the right time.” The 76ers were 43-30 during the abbreviated 2019-20 regular season. They fired coach Brett Brown after getting swept by the Boston Celtics in the opening round of the playoffs. Two weeks ago, the 76ers announced that former Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings head coach Dave Joerger will serve as an assistant to Rivers.
