Jazz Continue Search For New GM

8:42pm: The Jazz will be holding a press conference on Tuesday morning to make a "front office related" announcement, tweets the Salt Lake City Tribune's Brian T. Smith. 

7:04pm: As was reported earlier today, longtime Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor is taking a new role with the team, moving into a top executive position within the organization and creating a hole at general manager.

While Cavaliers assistant general manager David Griffin and Thunder assistant general manager Troy Weaver have both pulled out of the running to take over, it appears Spurs executive Dennis Lindsey has met with Jazz officials earlier today, and is currently finalizing a deal to replace O'Connor, according to Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski.

According to Wojnarowski's report, O'Connor will move away from the day-to-day responsibilities that are required in a typical GM position. Instead he will oversee his replacement while still having a role in Utah's decision making process.
