The New Orleans Pelicans have announced the firing of their executive VP of basketball operations, David Griffin, after a challenging season.
Basketball Hall of Famer Joe Dumars is reported to be the frontrunner to take over the position.
Dumars, known for his storied career with the Detroit Pistons and later executive roles, is expected to finalize this new deal with the Pelicans by the end of the week.
The team has apparently had an interest in hiring Dumars for nearly a decade.
