"76ers Fire Doc Rivers, Search for Proven Winner Who Can Lead Team to Championship Without Joel Embiid's Input"
The 76ers are on the hunt for a new head coach after parting ways with Doc Rivers. Joel Embiid, the NBA MVP, was in shock when the news broke, but according to 76ers President Daryl Morey, he and the other players won't have any say in the decision. Morey has his eyes set on a few top names, but he's not rushing the process.
Meanwhile, the 76ers have interest in James Harden, who is expected to decline his contract option and become a free agent. Morey is hopeful that Harden will stay, but if he doesn't, they are ready to "get creative" in replacing him while still staying one of the best teams in the East.
Morey is confident in his leadership and feels that the franchise is better than it was when he was hired a year ago. The Sixers haven't made it to the conference finals since 2001, so their next early exit could mean more big changes.
