The New Orleans Pelicans have parted ways with general manager Dell Demps, league sources tell ESPN.
The organization is discussing internal candidates for the interim GM job, including David Booth and Danny Ferry, sources tell ESPN.
The Pelicans are planning to be aggressive in the marketplace to hire a high-level basketball executive, sources said.
Ownership's plan with a new GM will be continuing to push back on Anthony Davis' preferred trade destinations if they don't make sense for the Pelicans, especially with a full year left on his contract, sources said.
Ownership was livid with an injured Davis leaving the Smoothie King Center during Thursday night's game, sources say.
