After securing the No. 1 pick in next month's draft, the Pelicans have now landed on Nets assistant general manager Trajan Langdon to be their new general manager, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
New Orleans has been without a general manager since firing Dell Demps back in February shortly after the trade deadline passed. The team had been negotiating potential trades for six-time All-Star Anthony Davis, but there had been a stalemate with the Lakers, who were the most active potential partner.
Since hiring former Cavaliers general manager David Griffin as vice president of basketball operations in April, the team has been looking to hold onto Davis, who is eligible for a supermax extension this summer that could total around $230 million.
