    Few shifts in recent years.

    Case(s):
    hire a president but not fire current GM.
    Sixers: president Daryl Morey, GM Elton Brand
    Jazz: president Danny Ainge, GM Justin Zanik​

    Case(s): damage control
    Wolves:
    President Tim Connelly
    Interim: Sachin Gupta
    Replaced Gersson Rosas. affair with female staffer, each married to someone else.
    Blazers: GM Joe Cronin
    Replaced long time President/GM Neil Olshey for toxic workplace​


    Case
    : power struggle
    Lakers:
    2018-2019 - Magic Johnson (president of basketball ops). Quits on live TV and insinuates Pelinka of back stabbing.
    2016-2107 - Rob Pelinka GM
    2019-2020 - Rob Pelinka (GM and promoted to vice president of basketball ops after Magic left).
    No official president basketball ops listed for Lakers, only Pelinka for VP of basketball ops. Title could be a salary band thing.
    Tim Harris is listed as president of business ops.
    Mavs:
    Luka vs. Voulgaris vs Donnie vs Rick.
    Donnie Nelson (gm) & Rick Carlisle (coach) replaced by Nico Harrison (gm) & Jason Kidd (coach)
    Donnie and Nico's title are straightforward: just general manager.​
