New York Knicks interested in Philadelphia 76ers GM Elton Brand (Report)

New York Knicks president Leon Rose is interested in Philadelphia 76ers general manager serving the Knicks in the same position. Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News was the first to report the story, speaking to a league source.

Brand, 41, has been the Sixers’ GM since September of 2018. His tenure has been defined by blockbuster moves to build around Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. Brand made the trades for Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler during the 2018-19 season, although Harris would re-sign while Butler dipped for Miami.
