The San Antonio Spurs front office has completed its restructuring. Reports came out last week that long-time General Manager RC Buford would be promoted and replaced by Assistant GM Brian Wright. That move, along with several others, became official.
After 29 years with the organization, Buford was named the CEO of Spurs Sports & Entertainment Tuesday. Buford has been the team’s GM since 2002, playing a major role in shaping the team’s dynasty, as well as the culture that has become synonymous with the team over the years.
In replacing one of the NBA’s greatest GMs of all time, Brian Wright has large shoes to fill.
