The name that will make the next big signings for the Sixers

Philadelphia 76ers has found its new top sports executive in the NBA. The franchise has reached a multi-year agreement with Mike Gansey, who was previously the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, to appoint him as the team's president of basketball operations.

The information was confirmed by Gansey's agent, Bret Just, from WME Basketball.

Gansey's arrival comes after the management decided to end Daryl Morey's tenure leading the sports operations.

The search for the replacement was spearheaded by Bob Myers, the current president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and a key figure in building the Golden State Warriors dynasty.

According to reports, Myers will work closely with Gansey to shape the franchise's new sports direction.

Gansey prevails over Nick U'Ren in final decision

The final process involved two main candidates:

• Mike Gansey
• Nick U'Ren

U'Ren, who had been overseeing the sports operations of the Phoenix Mercury in recent years, also had previous ties with Myers after working within the Warriors' organization.

Both candidates had final meetings this week before Philadelphia made the definitive decision on Friday.

Gansey's impactful work in Cleveland

Gansey had spent over a decade with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization, where he had risen through the ranks since joining in the 2011-12 season.

Alongside Koby Altman, he helped rebuild the Cavaliers to once again become top contenders in the East.

The team recently reached the conference finals following a 52-win season and aggressive moves like trading Darius Garland to the LA Clippers in exchange for James Harden.

A highly regarded profile in the league

Gansey, 43 years old and hailing from northeastern Ohio, had a standout college career at West Virginia University, being selected to the All-Big East first team.

Before becoming the general manager of the Cavaliers, he also led the Cleveland Charge in the G League.

He will now take on one of the most demanding projects in the NBA: rebuilding a 76ers team that continues to strive to translate its talent into a genuine championship contender.
