The Philadelphia 76ers are promoting assistant general manager Jameer Nelson to the team's Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations under new President Mike Gansey, making the Philly native and former NBA All-Star the No. 2 executive for the franchise, sources tell ESPN. 76ers assistant GM Prosper Karangwa has also agreed to a multiyear contract extension.
The Sixers mightβve just had the biggest steal in the entire 2026 NBA Draft.
Labaron Philon Jr. at 22 is absurd.
This guy has ELITE upside.
Not decent upside.
Superstar upside.
- Maxey outside the top 20 in 2020
- McCain outside the top 15 in 2024
- Labaron Philon outside the top 20 in 2026
The Sixers never stop stealing guards in the draft
Jayden Quaintance and Victor Wembanyama have a chance to reinvent what defensive basketball looks like. 2 of the greatest defensive talents on this earth. https://t.co/v5z9efCxy5
There will be no private DMs. People want transparency and accountability so weβre going do this right here in public. You can start by apologizing to all impacted and then reimburse them all of their expenses with extra flight credit/money for the trouble caused.
@DonEstifanos@novaworld25 Nah gang, they almost secured the sixth seed this year, considering Embiid and George were sidelined for most of the season, and Maxey missed games as well. Health has been their biggest issue. If the starting five can stay healthy, itβs top 5 in the east for sure
