Mozeliak Takes Interim GM Seat as Angels Plot 2026 Roadmap

The Angels fired Perry Minasian and named John Mozeliak their interim GM for 2026, with Mozeliak in charge of drafting, the trade deadline, and finding a long‑term GM, while possibly staying on as an advisor. Moreno wasn’t involved in the hire and has signaled a preference for a quicker turnaround, whereas Molly Jolly will oversee baseball operations. A full‑time GM is expected to be hired before Mozeliak’s deal ends (likely by August at the earliest), with candidates such as Randy Flores already floated. The move raises questions about whether Moreno’s ownership style will change as the team pursues a restart under new leadership.

Draft Deep and Debatable: Inside the 2026 NBA Draft winners and fits

Industry insiders hailed the 2026 NBA Draft as unusually deep with few misfires, praising top picks like AJ Dybantsa to the Wizards and Darryn Peterson to the Jazz for their fits and upside, while Cameron Boozer landed with the Grizzlies in a spot many call ideal; Sacramento’s Darius Acuff Jr. at No. 7 and Golden State’s Yaxel Lendeborg at No. 11 were highlighted as immediate-impact additions, and Oklahoma City’s Aday Mara and Bennett Stirtz gave them size and versatility. Late moves—Alex Karaban to Sacramento, Cameron Carr to the Lakers, and Brooklyn’s Mikel Brown Jr. at No. 6—generated discussion about culture-setting value and injury risk. Overall, there were no obvious bad first-round picks, but the draft’s ripple effects and new coaching moves (like Dallas hiring Dusty May) will drive summer trades.

Leon Rose: The Quiet Architect Elevating the Knicks

Leon Rose, the Knicks' elusive president of basketball operations, has quietly rebuilt a contender around Jalen Brunson, using bold trades and sharp cap management to reshape the roster while avoiding the spotlight. Over five full seasons he’s steered New York to four seasons at least 10 games above .500 and three 50-win campaigns, pushing to the conference finals last year and two wins from a championship this year. His collaborative front office — World Wide Wes, Frank Zanin, Brock Aller and Gersson Rosas — delivered pivotal moves (Hart, Anunoby, Bridges, Towns) and Brunson’s extension, all while resisting overpayments for marquee stars. Rose’s steady leadership has become the backbone of the Knicks’ ascent.

New Sixers leadership, headed by Mike Gansey with Bob Myers and Jameer Nelson, outlined a plan to balance short-term competitiveness around Embiid and George with long-term development for Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, while emphasizing culture (“fountains, not drains”), alignment across the front office, and strong community ties. With cap constraints limiting big roster moves, the group signaled continued reliance on Nick Nurse and current staff while pursuing a clear team identity and collaborative approach to building toward both immediate success and future sustainability.

Sixers tap Gansey to run front office in a new era

The Philadelphia 76ers are hiring Mike Gansey as their lead basketball operations executive to replace Daryl Morey, with Bob Myers involved in the process. Gansey, who rose through Cleveland's ranks to GM, is viewed as a sharp but inexperienced executive for a top NBA role. Internal candidate Jameer Nelson was also considered. The Sixers face a pivotal offseason with expensive max contracts for Joel Embiid and Paul George and a core around Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, leaving little time to learn on the job.
