The Detroit Pistons formally announced they would be hiring a president of basketball operations on April 15, but there have been scan updates since. Presumably, the team is working with its national search firm to identify an extensive list of candidates, and will eventually reach out to a select few for initial interviews.
Now, there are some more names emerging as potential front runners, with Marc Stein reporting that a couple folks whose teams are still in the playoffs are among those on the top of the list.
Stein reports that the Pistons would “naturally have interest” in Minnesota’s Tim Connelly should Connelly exercise his opt-out clause amid ownership turmoil with the Timberwolves.
