LOS ANGELES — The Clippers are promoting Trent Redden to general manager while keeping the core of their front office together by promoting Mark Hughes to senior vice president/assistant general manager. By selecting Redden as the team's second-highest-ranking basketball executive, president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank chose someone he has worked with since 2017 when Frank hired Redden as the Clippers' assistant general manager while building a brand-new front office. He fills the general manager position left vacant last week when Michael Winger was hired as Washington's president of Monumental Basketball. Redden came to the Clippers after working 11 seasons in Cleveland, where he served as assistant general manager when the Cavaliers won the 2016 NBA championship. Hughes coached in the CBA and NBA before working in New York's front office for 10 seasons, joining the Clippers as assistant general manager in 2017.
