Report: Nets tab Billy King to run basketball operationsBasketball Betting Lines07/14/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets are reportedly set to hire Billy King to oversee the team's basketball operations. King had formerly been general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, but was fired by team chairman Ed Snider in December of 2007 and replaced by Ed Stefanski, who was general manager of the Nets at the time. King was with the Sixers from 1997-2007 and added the title of team president in 2003 after coach Larry Brown and previous president Pat Croce left the team. It's not clear exactly what title King will hold with the team, as outgoing team president and GM Rod Thorn is set to leave open two positions. King and former Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry, both Duke grads, were reportedly the top two candidates for the position. Additional reports indicate Ferry could be brought in as general manager. TNT's David Aldridge was first to report on King joining the Nets.
