The Philadelphia 76ers have had a strong summer under the guidance of President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey and the rest of the front office. The Sixers have leaned on Gansey, HBSE President of Sports Bob Myers, and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Jameer Nelson in an effort to help the franchise reach the mountaintop.
The Sixers have been able to lean on those three to overhaul the roster as they have been able to land Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, and a slew of others to join Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe. Philadelphia will be looking to end a long title drought in the upcoming season with the additions made to the roster.
The Sixers have reportedly made a front office hire with the addition of Tommy Balcetis as Head of Basketball Intelligence, Analytics, and Innovation. He spent the last 12 years with the Denver Nuggets and previously served as an assistant GM for the organization.
