The Detroit Pistons finally got their guy. Trajan Langdon will lead the team as their new President of Basketball Operations, which was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski Thursday.
Langdon has plenty of decisions to make, most notably surrounding the future of general manager Troy Weaver and head coach Monty Williams. Langdon also has his first draft at the helm of Detroit on the immediate horizon.
Langdon comes to the Pistons after he served as the New Orleans Pelicans’ general manager for the past five seasons. While we don’t know New Orleans’ decision making process behind the scenes, Langdon at least had a hand in the selections of Jordan Hawkins, Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III and the no-brainer pick of Zion Williamson at No.
