The Philadelphia 76ers haven’t taken their eyes off a major prize in the executive world: Bob Myers.
League share that the Philadelphia 76ers remain interested in former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers, even as the organization continues evaluating its leadership structure. According to multiple insiders, Sixers ownership—led by Josh Harris—is still exploring ways to bring Myers into the fold in a high-level capacity.
“Bob Myers is still very much in play,” a plugged-in league source shared with ScoopB.com.
“Philadelphia hasn’t moved on. They still view him as someone who could elevate the entire operation.”
Myers, the architect behind the Warriors’ four championships and a two-time NBA Executive of the Year, stepped down from his role in Golden State in 2023. Since then, he’s stayed close to the game through his work with ESPN, but sources say he’s remained open to the idea of returning to the front office if the right opportunity arises.
The Sixers’ interest in Myers isn’t new—it dates back over a year, when the franchise began internal discussions about re-centering its leadership model around a proven championship builder. While Myers initially opted for a break from team duties, Philadelphia’s persistence has kept the door cracked.
“Josh Harris wants to win. He wants to build something sustainable and credible—Myers checks all those boxes,” another source with knowledge of the situation said.
The appeal of Myers goes beyond his rings. Around the league, he’s regarded as a premier connector—someone who balances basketball IQ, player relationships, and ownership trust. He’s close with Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, who represents Sixers cornerstone Tyrese Maxey, and he’s respected by players across eras, from Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant to Andre Iguodala and LeBron James.
The Sixers, of course, are in a pivotal window. With Joel Embiid still in his prime, Maxey ascending and potential cap flexibility looming this summer, ownership wants to ensure the right voices are at the table as they chart their course. Bringing in Myers—whether as president, strategic advisor, or an even more senior role—would signal a serious commitment to competing at the highest level, both on and off the court.
“This wouldn’t just be a hire—it would be a message,” one source shared. “Philadelphia’s not just trying to make noise—they’re trying to build something that lasts.”
As of now, Myers remains non-committal publicly, enjoying life outside the day-to-day grind of NBA front offices. But those close to him suggest he misses the competition, the culture-building, and the chase.
Don’t rule out Philadelphia. The conversations are still alive. And the chessboard? Still moving.
