Former Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry has found his next gig, joining the New Orleans Pelicans as a special advisor.
“I am excited to announce Danny Ferry has accepted our offer to join the New Orleans Pelicans basketball operations staff as a special advisor,” general manager Dell Demps said in a statement Wednesday. “Danny’s experience, insight and achievements will be a welcomed addition to the Pelicans as we continue our quest to improve the team.”
Ferry, 49, spent three seasons as the Hawks general manager before stepping down in June 2015 after repeating culturally insensitive comments from a scouting report in reference to Miami Heat forward Luol Deng.
