Trajan

Langdon

Langdon was previously the assistant GM for the Nets and had interviewed for a few different roles across the league before accepting this position in New Orleans. He has widely been seen as a rising star in the industry and will now work alongside Executive VP of Basketball Operations David Griffin to start a new era of basketball in the Big Easy. Langdon got his front office start under Griffin in Cleveland.

The current assistant GM for the Nets has quickly become one of the fastest risers to earn a top front-office job, and he may be among the lead candidates. Langdon has been with the Nets for three years and has been credited with some of the improvement in the franchise.

If Langdon can make the Clippers, he’ll be reunited with Duke teammates Elton Brand and Corey Maggette. That’s a really big if, though. He’s played in Italy and Turkey the last two seasons.

The Clippers now have 14 players on their roster. If they keep them all, then Mikki Moore, Mamadou N’diaye or Quinton Ross could join Kerry Kittles on the injured list for the start of the season.

Langdon will join general manager Sean Marks’ staff and will be leveraged for his overseas connections as the Nets attempt to expand their global scouting footprint. While it’s just a front office role, the Alaskan Assassin is officially back in the NBA.

With the score 52-39 at halftime, Langdon hit two straight 3-pointers in quick succession to put his team 16 points ahead and set the ton in the second half. The former Duke star could get a chance with an NBA team sometime this year.
