SEATTLE -- The Seattle SuperSonics completed a series of
front office moves Saturday, including the hiring of Scott Perry as
an assistant general manager.
Earlier in the week, the Detroit Pistons said Perry, the team's
former director of player personnel, was expected to assume his new
role in Seattle when contract details were finalized.
Perry was hired by the Pistons as a college scout in 2000.
Before that, he was coach at Eastern Kentucky for three seasons.
Seattle also announced that Rich Cho would remain with the
organization as an assistant general manager in charge of contracts
and the collective bargaining agreement. Cho is the only holdover
from Seattle's previous management.
"Rich's experience, skill and knowledge will prove to be
invaluable to me and the operation as we continue to develop this
team," new Sonics GM Sam Presti said.
Former general manager Rick Sund was reassigned in April.
Seattle also fired director of player personnel David Pendergraft
and head scout Steve Rosenberry this week.
Seattle also announced that radio broadcaster David Locke would
not return after just one season with the club.
