McGee: Lakers ‘best team in the world right now’

The Detroit Pistons will hire Trajan Langdon as president of basketball operations.

Tom Gores is hiring Langdon with sweeping power to make changes to the organization. The Pistons ran a lengthy search, which included coordination with TurnkeyZRG managing director Billy King.

Langdon spent the past five seasons under David Griffin with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Langdon will have the opportunity sit down with Pistons GM Troy Weaver and coach Monty Williams and discuss how they can work together with the Pistons.
