NBA front-office prospects to watch

(March 2017)


Quote:

They're not conventional names thrown around, but here are seven who received high marks for having the ingredients to succeed.


Quote:

Mike Zarren, Boston Celtics assistant general manager/team counsel


Quote:

Tommy Sheppard, Washington Wizards senior vice president of basketball operations


Quote:

Troy Weaver, Oklahoma City Thunder vice president and assistant general manager


Quote:

Mike Winger, Oklahoma City Thunder assistant general manager/team counsel


Quote:

Brian Wright, San Antonio Spurs assistant general manager


Quote:

Trent Redden, Cleveland Cavaliers senior vice president of basketball operations


Quote:

Trajan Langdon, Brooklyn Nets assistant general manager
When execs muse about the intangibles that make an effective general manager, they frequently cite range of experience as a helpful ingredient. In this event, Langdon has nearly every base covered. He played at college basketball's royal academy in Duke, then in the NBA before venturing overseas, including a long stint with CSKA Moscow under Ettore Messina (and Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov). Upon retirement, he joined the Spurs as a scout before serving in Cleveland's front office.

Marks made Langdon his first hire, which speaks volumes about his potential as an executive and his eye for talent. Former players bring a specialized set of skills and experiences to the executive suites, where the job isn't only talent evaluation but talent management. Be it college divas, journeymen or international products, Langdon has shared locker rooms with them all.

League insiders say Langdon needs a few seasons in Brooklyn during what promises to be a painstaking rebuild, but will eventually receive some serious looks from owners intrigued by a managerial prospect with a playing career and some Spurs shine.



Winger - Clippers
Redden - Clippers

Langdon - New Orleans


Some think that Zarren is too attached to the Celtics and that he won't leave.

Weaver had a few interviews with Washington, but didn't get the position.

Was about to create a 'Official Jeanie Buss' thread but saw this thread and spared you guys

But really, after nearly 8 years, still lot of people don't have enough confidence that Jeanie will right this ship. When Magic was hired and LBJ joined Lakers, I thought we are coming together as Lakers Organization. But now back to unknowns. I don't know if we got better or worst in the last few years.

Too many questions but still there is hope. Hope that Jeanie sells this team to some competent owner.

Langdon was someone I thought would be a good GM to pull but we never even got to hiring a new President
