Nets hire Trajan Langdon as assistant GM

The Brooklyn Nets have named Trajan Langdon as assistant general manager.

"We are very pleased to welcome Trajan and his family to the Brooklyn Nets," said General Manager Sean Marks. "Trajan is someone I worked with closely at the Spurs, and he brings a unique combination of NBA and European experience to the position."

Langdon joins the Nets after having served as the director of player administration and basketball operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers since September, 2015.

Langdon began his front office career with the San Antonio Spurs, serving as a pro scout from 2012-15, and was a member of the team’s front office during their 2013-14 championship season.

A first round pick (11th overall) of the Cavaliers in 1999, Langdon played three seasons with Cleveland, where he totaled 119 games, and became the first Alaskan to play in the NBA.

Following his stint in the NBA, Langdon played nine seasons overseas in Russia, Turkey and Italy. His best years came with CSKA Moscow, where he was a two-time Euroleague champion (2006, 2008), Euroleague Final Four MVP (2008), two-time All-Euroleague First Team selection (2007, 2008) and All-Euroleague Second Team selection (2006). He was also named to the Euroleague 2001-10 All-Decade Team.
