Oliva, who is originally from Catalonia, ventured into the NBA landscape in 2014 with the Philadelphia 76ers front office, and worked his way up all the way to VP of Strategy for the Sixers.
In 2020, he headed to the bench and coached for two seasons on Quin Snyder’s staff with the Utah Jazz before making his way up to the pacific northwest and returning to a front office role.
A few months ago, The Athletic named him to their 40 under 40 list for NBA executives, coaches and agents shaping the future of the basketball world.
With Oliva now in the fold, he joins Andrae Patterson and Mike Schmitz as co-workers for Joe Cronin’s newly-revamped front office.
