Ferry returns to Spurs front office

The San Antonio Spurs have reached agreement with former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry to return to the franchise’s front office, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

After Spurs vice president of basketball operations Dell Demps left to become GM of the New Orleans Hornets last month, Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford aggressively recruited Ferry to return to San Antonio.

Ferry interviewed for GM jobs with the Portland Trail Blazers and New Jersey Nets after he was fired by the Cavaliers in May. Ferry has a strong comfort level with Popovich and Buford and believes a return to San Antonio can put him in position to become a GM again. He joins Spurs assistant GM Dennis Lindsey and Buford to create a formidable league front office.


Glad to see him back. It never hurts to have great guys like him in your front office.

It never hurts to get some Front office talent coming in. It's usually the complete opposite for this team.

Ferry is a great replacement for Dale Demps. I wouldn't mind seeing PJ come back in some form either. I always like his coaching style....do what I say or I'll choke you out haha.
