The Spurs want to bring Danny Ferry back to their front office, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Ferry began his front-office career in San Antonio and the team hopes to convince him to return in the near future.

He left the Cavaliers as general manager in early June.

Ferry was a candidate for recent openings in Portland and New Jersey, but lost out on both jobs. He remains close with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and president R.C. Buford.
