Two years ago, when the Pistons were looking to rebuild their front office, they wanted permission to interview Troy Weaver, who as an assistant general manager with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder refused, and the Pistons moved forward with Ed Stefanski leading the front office, but they left the spot of general manager vacant.
This time, they circled back. This time, Weaver was ready — and available.
Weaver joins the Pistons staff with the task of reinvigorating a franchise that hasn’t had a playoff win in more than a decade.
