The Australian NBL club has finally confirmed Israeli Dan Shamir as their new director of basketball, a role that also includes being head coach.
He first arrived in Auckland a month ago.
Braswell was just one year into his three-year deal with the club and has effectively been sacked.
But owner Matt Walsh says they are still working through the details of Braswell's release.
He says they are greatfull for what Braswell brought to the club but they are moving in another direction.
The Breakers have also added former NBA player Scotty Hopson and Tall Black Tom Vodanovich to their roster.
