The Washington Commanders new managing partner/owner, Josh Harris, first dipped his feet into the pro sports ownership space in 2011, with the purchase of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. In the 12 years since first purchasing the team, he’s rolled through five different general managers, with the longest tenured serving a mere three year stint (the 76ers current GM, Daryl Morey just passed three years in November).
The early years of Harris’ ownership in Philadelphia were very lean, as the 76ers - led by GM Sam Hinkie at that point - executed “The Process,” essentially tanking from 2013 through 2016 in order to align themselves for high draft picks.
