Dennis Lindsey Named Jazz General Manager

SALT LAKE CITY — Kevin O'Connor isn't going anywhere, but the Utah Jazz have a new general manager.

The organization introduced Dennis Lindsey of the San Antonio Spurs as the team's new GM this morning while also announcing that O'Connor will maintain his role as executive vice president of basketball operations.

In simple terms, O'Connor will oversee the Jazz, but Lindsey will be the go-to guy who deals with the daily grind, the ins and outs, and working with agents, players and potential trade partners around the league to build the team.

O'Connor said the idea of him moving up into an executive position in the front office has been in the works for a couple of years, and he believes the Jazz struck gold with Lindsey. The new GM spent the past five seasons with the Spurs as the assistant general manager after working his way up through the Houston Rockets' organization with whom he began as a video coordinator and scout.
