Mike Gansey agreed to become the Philadelphia 76ers' President of Basketball Operations, leaving his role as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Gansey joined the Cavaliers' front office in 2011-12, rose through the organization, won G League Executive of the Year, and had served as Cavs general manager under Kolby Altman since 2022. The Sixers are naming their first permanent lead basketball operations executive since 2020, handing Gansey authority over roster construction, trades, and long-term strategy. Cleveland loses a key architect of its recent rise while Philadelphia secures an experienced evaluator to steer the franchise's next phase.
