When Ed Stefanski was hired two years ago to lead the Pistons’ front office, most expected there would be another move coming soon thereafter, with the naming of a general manager.
Stefanski had three assistant general managers but never filled out the front office with a general manager. It was a strange configuration, with no clear second-in-command, and the unusual front-office structure lasted for two years before the Pistons hired Troy Weaver last week.
In the interim, Stefanski and his staff were able to keep the Pistons afloat, navigating through the salary cap and staying away from the luxury tax.
