Morey’s Star-Chasing Creed Reaches a Breaking Point in Philly

Howard Beck argues that Daryl Morey’s career has been defined by an unwavering pursuit of superstar talent, from Houston to Philadelphia. While his teams have been consistently strong, they’ve never won a title or reached the Finals, with Embiid’s injuries and roster depth playing major roles. Morey’s firing suggests a possible recalibration, but his star-first philosophy has already reshaped how NBA front offices operate and is likely to persist in other teams.

Bob Myers to Steer 76ers’ Search for New Basketball Ops Leader After Morey Exit

The Philadelphia 76ers announce Daryl Morey will depart, with HBSE’s Bob Myers stepping in to lead the search and oversee basketball ops on an interim basis. Morey’s tenure (2020–2026) produced a 270-212 regular-season record and 28-26 in the playoffs. Myers, who joined HBSE in 2025 as President of Sports and is a two-time NBA Executive of the Year for building the Warriors’ championship teams, vows a thorough process to attract top talent and rebuild the franchise, as Josh Harris acknowledges fan frustration and the need for a fresh start.

Sixers fire Daryl Morey; Bob Myers to lead search for new basketball ops chief

The Philadelphia 76ers have fired Daryl Morey as president of basketball operations after six years and a playoff sweep by the New York Knicks. Bob Myers will run the search to replace him, with Nick Nurse remaining as head coach. Morey’s tenure included big moves and a max extension for Joel Embiid, but the team never advanced past the second round, and Embiid’s hefty, injury-prone contract complicates any rebuild. Tyrese Maxey is viewed as part of the team's future core as they regroup.

76ers fire Morey after Knicks sweep, launching front-office overhaul

After a four-game playoff sweep by the Knicks in the second round, the 76ers dismissed Daryl Morey as president of basketball operations. Nick Nurse remains head coach, and the franchise will search for a new front-office leader—led by Bob Myers—as it navigates free agency and the draft, aiming to improve on a six-season run that never produced an Eastern Conference Finals appearance.

Lakers push for wings as 76ers' offseason shadows loom

After the Knicks swept the 76ers, Philadelphia faces an uncertain offseason with pricey deals and key free agents ahead, while the Lakers look to upgrade the wings in free agency by targeting unrestricted options Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre Jr.—with Grimes seen as a 3-and-D fit and Oubre offering versatile defense and shooting. Andre Drummond could serve as veteran backup center. The 76ers hold Bird rights on Grimes and Oubre, giving them leverage, though Los Angeles can still deploy cap space to land one of them.

Sixers bow out in blowout as Knicks march to Conference Finals

Philadelphia was routed 144-114 in Game 4, ending their season as the Knicks seized control with relentless defense and bench-scale depth. The piece blames Embiid’s limited mobility, Maxey’s uneven play, and a brittle defensive approach, arguing the Sixers’ star-centric approach and ownership-driven roster decisions failed to build a sustainable championship path, leaving fans disillusioned as New York heads toward the Conference Finals.

Knicks Eye Mother's Day Sweep: Closeout Bid in Game 4 vs. 76ers

With a 3-0 series lead, the Knicks head to Philadelphia on Mother's Day to close out the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York dominates in the paint and on the boards as Jalen Brunson runs the show, with Mikal Bridges stepping up on defense and Hart and Shamet providing depth. Philadelphia relies on Maxey and Embiid, but depth has been lacking; Embiid is expected to play through injuries while OG Anunoby is day-to-day for New York. ESPN projects roughly a 66% chance for a Knicks clinch; if they maintain the rebounding edge and slow Maxey in half-court sets, they could seal the series by about 15 points.

Anunoby Day-to-Day as Knicks Aim to Close Out 76ers

OG Anunoby remains day-to-day with a right hamstring strain as the Knicks hold a 3-0 series lead over the 76ers and prepare for Game 4; coach Mike Brown says the decision will be medical and guided by the training staff and Anunoby, with Miles McBride starting in Game 3 and Joel Embiid listed as probable for Philadelphia; no team has ever rallied from 0-3, so New York is focused on closing out while staying present.
