Pistons zero in on Trajan Langdon for president of basketball operations position

The Detroit Pistons have a new president of basketball operations, roughly a month after the team announced it was opening a search to fill the position. Trajan Langdon, the New Orleans Pelicans' general manager for the past five seasons, is currently negotiating a deal with Detroit, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Langdon has been the Pelicans' GM since 2019, working under executive VP of basketball operations David Griffin.

Prior to taking the job with New Orleans, Langdon was an assistant general manager with the Brooklyn Nets under Sean Marks. He joined the Nets after three years as a scout for the San Antonio Spurs.
