Report: Danny Ferry Returning to Spurs, Will Oversee D-League's Toros

Filed under: Cavaliers, Spurs, NBA D-League

Dell Demps spent three season as general manager of the Austin Toros before being hired last month to the same position with the New Orleans Hornets, becoming the first person to use the D-League as a stepping stone to the top of an NBA front office.



Danny Ferry may be hoping he's the next.



Ferry, who resigned as Cleveland Cavaliers GM in June after five years on the job, is expected to be officially announced as a member of the San Antonio Spurs' front office by week's end, reports Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News. Though "formal delineation" of front office duties and titles has yet to be determined, according to the report, Ferry will oversee the Toros, the Spurs' D-League team.



Overseeing the Toros is a more NBA-engaged project than any other job in the D-League, as the Spurs-Toros relationship is often lauded as the blueprint for successfully managing an NBA team's D-League counterpart.
