Pelicans part ways with GM Dell Demps in wake of Anthony Davis saga
The New Orleans Pelicans have parted ways with general manager Dell Demps, the team announced on Friday, clearing the way for a new top basketball executive to oversee the Anthony Davis trade talks.
Demps had been Pelicans GM for nine years, which included three trips to the playoffs but advancing only once past the first round.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks GM Danny Ferry, a consultant for the Pelicans, has been named the team's interim GM. New Orleans assistant GM David Booth was also considered for the interim role, league sources said.
