The New Orleans Pelicans have received permission from several teams to interview candidates for their general manager vacancy, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Early candidates reportedly include the Golden State Warriors' Larry Harris, the Brooklyn Nets' Trajan Langdon, and Gersson Rosas of the Houston Rockets, with more expected to surface throughout the process.

Harris currently serves as the assistant general manager and director of player personnel for the reigning NBA champions. He previously served as general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks from 2003-08.

Langdon has been Brooklyn's assistant general manager since March 2016. He played three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers (1999-02) but had more success overseas as a two-time EuroLeague champion and EuroLeague Final Four MVP with CSKA Moscow.

Rosas is Houston's executive vice president of basketball operations, a position he's held since 2012. He's worn many hats within the organization, previously serving as the team's personnel scout, video coordinator, director of player personnel, and vice president of player personnel.

The Pelicans and former general manager Dell Demps mutually parted ways in February. Danny Ferry has served as interim general manager since then.
