Shams Charania wrote:Graham started as a Pelicans intern before advancing to video coordinator, coaching and front office roles in New Orleans. He rose to the general manager position last June and leaves after 15 years with the team.

Under former Pelicans head of basketball operations David Griffin, Graham helped guide successful finds in Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, Yves Missi, Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall and Jordan Hawkins. Graham was also part of the staff that drafted Hawks guard Dyson Daniels, who had a breakout season and won the NBA's Most Improved Player of the Year award.

Dinwiddie, known as a well-respected executive throughout the NBA, has worked in the 76ers' front office since 2020 after 14 seasons with the Indiana Pacers and has played a key part of dozens of trades, signings and transactions.

I like the moves. Graham seems to be the draft guy Saleh needed to pair with him. Dinwiddie is meh, but he is seasoned.

I neither like nor dislike the moves.... I'm in wait and see mode.

He's the Assistant GM.
We just hired VPs who's reporting to the GM.
If I told you I understood the heirarchy I'd be lying. :-?

I think that is an acceptable stance to take right now. Both aren't very prominent names. Graham does have some scouting and drafts accolades to lean on though. He's had a hand in the drafting of Dyson Daniels, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, and brought in some quality role players such as Naji Marshall and Jose Alvarado. Yves Missi looks like a very solid pick as well. He's carrying most of the weight for why I like the additions.

Bryson Graham is replacing Grant Liffman who was fired, he was Landry's friend.
