The Philadelphia 76ers are identifying new targets to meet and interview for their general manager vacancy but Josh Harris is not ruling out continuing with their interim structure in place for the 18-19 season.
"It does leave open that possibility," Harris told ESPN on Monday. "We prefer to find an elite talent who can lead us, but we aren't going to compromise."
Brett Brown has served as the franchise's interim GM surrounded with front-office executives Ned Cohen, Marc Eversley and Elton Brand. The Sixers promoted Cohen, Eversley and Brand on Monday.
Philadelphia will also promote Alex Rucker (senior VP of analytics and strategy) and move assistant coach Kevin Young onto the front of the bench to replace Jim O'Brien, who will now serve as a senior advisor to Brown.
"We have a skilled and stable staff who share the same vision under Brett," Harris told ESPN. "We prefer to find someone, but we don't want to feel forced into compromising."
