NBA coaching staffs and front offices don’t change as dramatically as rosters seem to from season to season, but it’s not of the ordinary for a move to occur each year.
And it’s certainly not atypical for a minor change or two in one organization to be the result of another franchise going through somewhat of an overhaul. This upcoming offseason, the Detroit Pistons are a team looking to move in a different direction — they’ve decided to go back to having a general manager instead of two assistant general managers.
As a result, the Brooklyn Nets front office could be impacted, with Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reporting Nets assistant general manager Jeff Peterson has emerged as one of the “three serious candidates” for the Pistons general manager opening. The other two candidates, according to Woj, are Los Angeles Clippers assistant general manager Mark Hughes, and Thunder vice president of basketball operations Troy Weaver.
Furthermore, Ian Begley of SNY is reporting that another member of the Nets front office may depart for Detroit. Brooklyn’s director of player personnel J.R. Holden is “among those on the Pistons’ radar as they look to add to their front office.”
