">Philadelphia Inquirer.  The Sixers reportedly want to make collaborative decisions instead of a general manager who will have the final say.

Former Sixers GM Bryan Colangelo resigned from his post on June 7 following a Twitter investigation centered on he and his wife. Coach Brett Brown is currently overseeing basketball operations on an interim basis while the organization looks for a new general manager.

Griffin was the Cavs’ general manager for three seasons and helped guide the franchise to its first title in 2015-16. Griffin and owner Dan Gilbert had different visions for the organization, however, and the two agreed to part ways on June 20, 2017.

The Sixers have interviewed at least seven known candidates, including former NBA big man and current G-League GM Elton Brand.
