Report: Sixers hire Rod Thorn as president

Basketball Betting Lines

08/11/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly hired Rod Thorn as president, allowing Ed Stefanski to focus his role solely on general manager.

Stefanski was serving in a dual-capacity as GM and president.

Thorn spent 10 years as team president and general manager of the New Jersey Nets, but announced last month he was stepping down. The Nets then named Billy King as their new GM.

The 69-year-old Thorn was the NBA's Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations from 1986-2000. Before that he served as GM of the Chicago Bulls and was instrumental in the club's selection of Michael Jordan in the 1984 draft.
