The New Orleans Pelicans, led by Joe Dumars, have parted ways with two top execs from David Griffin’s staff as front office changes continue.

Dumars also said of players who are a distraction or unreliable, "You have to set standards — and you can’t waver from those standards."

Joe Dumars says the early months of his tenure as the New Orleans Pelicans' basketball operations chief will be marked by listening.
