General manager Troy Weaver has led the Detroit Pistons to two consecutive seasons with the league’s worst record, and his time might be running out. The Pistons plans to hire a new head of basketball operations and will begin the search this week, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

A new team president would sit above Weaver and would almost certainly have the leeway to hire and fire the current regime as he or she sees fit. That could, of course, also extend to current Vice Chairman Arn Tellem, Senior Adviser of Basketball Operations Ed Stefanksi, Front Office Assistant Dwane Casey, or even first-year head coach Monty Williams.
