During the YES Network broadcast of the Brooklyn Nets loss to the Charlotte Hornets Saturday, cameras caught Jeff Peterson, the Hornets brand new GM, talking casually with a former colleague in Brooklyn, Ryan Gisriel, the Nets executive director of basketball and business operations.
While Ryan Ruocco and Sarah Kustok noted that Peterson had been recruited from the Nets front office, where he’d been Sean Marks No. 2, they made no mention of Gisriel’s presence. Now, multiple league sources tell NetsDaily that Gisriel will soon leave the Nets for the Hornets where he’ll join Peterson’s staff in an executive position.
