Trajan Langdon chased and then recruited by the Pistons, the Pelicans had to name a new GM to assist vice president David Griffin, and they opted for an internal promotion. This is how Bryson Graham who will occupy the position, and it is rather a fair reward since he has been at the club for 14 years, and he has served as assistant GM for five seasons.
“Above all, he is someone recognized for his strength of character. His work ethic, basketball acumen, leadership ability and talent have contributed immeasurably to the evolution of our franchise. I couldn't be happier to see him take on the role of GM of the Pelicans.” reacted Griffin in a statement.
Another appointment, that of Swin Cash, who becomes “senior” vice-president of the franchise. If Griffin will take care of the finances, the former WNBA star will be responsible for the sports side, and therefore she will be Graham's superior.
The franchise also announced the arrival of Jon Moul, as a salary cap expert. The latter had been a manager at the Hornets for seven years, and this season he was the director of basketball strategy and legal affairs.
For the Pelicans, we will also have to look at Willie Green's staff since Fred Vinson joined Trajan Langdon at the Pistons, where James Borrego, first assistant at the Pelicans, could also join them.
