Philadelphia’s front-office shift isn’t the real issue

The 76ers’ recent shake-up isn’t what’s dominating conversation in Philadelphia. It’s the growing sense that people are losing faith in ownership to turn things around.

After a blowout loss to New York ended their season, Josh Harris stood next to Bob Myers and explained the decision to fire Daryl Morey.

He told fans he understood their frustration, saying he felt it even more than they did. People heard him, but there are real doubts about whether anyone still believes those words have weight.

There’s more to this than just the front office

Fans aren’t just upset over a single playoff exit or one executive being shown the door. It’s about feeling stuck in the same cycle—another early playoff exit, another roster that doesn’t quite fit together, and more assurances that things are changing when they don’t look any different.

That’s why the frustration toward Harris hasn’t cooled down, even after Morey’s departure. Speaking at his press conference, Harris said he didn’t like seeing Knicks fans take over their home court and insisted they did everything possible to prevent it. But for many in Philadelphia, the issue goes beyond ticket sales—it’s about what happens on the court and where this team is heading.

Myers brings a new voice, but the questions remain
