Joe Dumars is from Louisiana. Joe Dumars is friendly with New Orleans Pelicans executive Mickey Loomis and a frequent guest in his private box for New Orleans Saints games. The Pelicans need to decide whether to retain current GM Dell Demps, whose contract runs out this year. Joe Dumars is currently out of work.
All of these statements are true. Is it safe to connect the dots and suggest Loomis might tab Dumars to replace Demps?
Grantland's Zach Lowe suggested as much last May, shortly after Dumars officially stepped down from his duties running the Pistons, and New Orleans TV anchor Fletcher Mackel brought it up again this past February.
