Elgin Baylor is out as Clippers general manager

By Art Thompson III / The Orange County Register

LOS ANGELES — Elgin Baylor’s two decades in the Clippers’ executive office apparently has ended, as the team’s longtime vice president of basketball operations and general manager no longer is performing those duties.

The Clippers confirmed the move late Tuesday afternoon when it was announced that Coach Mike Dunleavy was adding the title of general manager, replacing Baylor. Neil Olsey, the team’s director of player personnel, was promoted to assistant general manager.

"We greatly appreciate Elgin’s efforts during his time with the Clippers and we wish him the very best," Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling said in a prepared statement.
