The New Orleans Pelicans fired general manager Dell Demps last week, but in a classy notion, the former GM wrote a letter to New Orleans thanking the city and fans for their support.
Dell Demps spent eight and a half seasons as GM of the Pelicans.
Via The Advocate:
Dear New Orleans Pelicans fans:
I want to thank you for supporting the Pelicans during my time as general manager of the team.
New Orleans will always be near and dear to my family and me. It's a place that welcomed us with open arms and felt like home from Day One. The kindness and pride of the people, the food and the culture is second to none. NOLA is the city that my wife Anita and I watched our son Riley grow from a 10-year old kid to a high school graduate at Isidore Newman School.
Pelican Fans, I will always remember the buzz in the arena during the playoffs when everyone wore red shirts and your passion inspired our team to victory.
Through the highs and the lows, your love for the team did not go unnoticed.
Thanks to the players. Thanks to the coaches, staff and front office. Thanks to all the people who worked at the Smoothie King Center. Thanks to all the people that worked behind the scenes.
A special thanks to the Benson family, Mickey Loomis and Dennis Lauscha.
But most importantly,
THANK YOU New Orleans!
Sincerely,
Dell Demps
The Pelicans fired Demps just a day before the All-Star break. Danny Ferry is the interim GM for the Pelicans. New Orleans will be looking for a permanent GM.
