Tom Penn has emerged as the frontrunner for the general
manager job with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to league
sources.

Penn, a former assistant GM with the Portland Trail Blazers
and Memphis Grizzlies, currently works as an NBA analyst for
ESPN.

根據消息：
曾任拓荒者與灰熊助理GM，現在在ESPN擔任球評的 Tom Penn
目前是七六人下一任 GM 人選中呼聲最高的人選。



Penn would work alongside current Sixers president and GM Rod
Thorn. Thorn, who is involved in Philadelphia's search for his
successor, is entering the last year of his contract and will
remain as team president for the upcoming season. He will then
work with the club as a consultant.

While no timetable has been given for the hire, Penn, who
already has interviewed with the Sixers, will meet again with
team representatives Tuesday in New York City, sources said.

目前 Rod Thorn 是以籃球事務總裁 (President) 位置兼任GM，
他跟七六人還有最後一年球團管理的合約，
並且協助七六人找尋繼任者。

目前七六人對於新總管接任的時程並沒有一個正式的時間表，
不過 Tom Penn 已經跟七六人高層有過面試，
並且雙方將會在近期於紐約再度會面。

Penn is well-regarded in league circles and is viewed as one
of the brighter young minds in the game. Sixers owner Josh
Harris and coach Doug Collins are very high on him, according
to sources.

Penn身為一個行政人員的能力是在聯盟廣泛被肯定與認可的，
並且對於籃球的發展有著比較新穎的想法與思考。
老闆 Joshua Harris 跟教練 Doug Collins 也對他有著高度的興趣與肯定。
(按: Doug Collins 在底特律當教練時也曾經兼任過行政管理職務)

While Penn is the frontrunner, former New Orleans Hornets GM
Jeff Bower is still a candidate as well, one source said.

Penn, who worked with Portland from 2007-10, was also in
consideration for the Orlando Magic GM job that went to Rob
Hennigan.

不過，雖然 Tom Penn 是目前的領先者，
但是目前七六人的口袋裡面仍然有著其他的備選替代方案，
如黃蜂的前總管 Jeff Bower 也仍然在候選人的名單上。

Tom Penn 也曾經被之前開除 Otis 的魔術慎重考慮，
但是最後他們選擇了 Rob Hennigan 作為他們的新任 GM。
