Former Pistons guard and executive Joe Dumars is finalizing a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans to become their president of basketball operations, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Dumars spent 14 seasons as a guard for the Pistons and another 14 years as the team’s head basketball executive, winning back-to-back NBA titles as a player in the 1988-89 and ’89-’90 seasons and another as an executive in the 2003-’04 season.
The Pelicans recently fired their head basketball executive David Griffin after New Orleans finished with the fourth-worst record in the NBA (21-61).
Dumars is a Louisiana native, playing his college basketball at McNeese State in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
