Sources: 76ers Looking for Next Rod Thorn
WHETHER THE SIXERS need wholesale changes or a tweak here or there this offseason, the first change appears to be with the man charged with making those moves.
The Sixers are currently interviewing potential replacements for president of basketball operations Rod Thorn, team sources told the Daily News on Monday.
The team has received permission to talk with personnel executives from some teams, a source said. The Sixers also have been turned down by some organizations.
Potential candidates, according to league sources, include San Antonio vice president of operations Danny Ferry; Spurs assistant GM Dennis Lindsey; Jeff Bower, who was a general manager for the New Orleans Hornets; Oklahoma City assistant GM Troy Weaver; Atlanta GM Rick Sund, whose contract expires at the end of June; and Milwaukee GM John Hammond, who has a year remaining on his deal. Hammond, who was denied permission to talk to Portland last month, was an assistant coach for Doug Collins with Detroit.
