Club To Initiate Search For New Head of
Basketball Operations
DETROIT, April 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Detroit Pistons announced
today that the club plans to reorganize and bolster its basketball
front office, which includes filling the role of a new head of
basketball operations, reporting directly to Tom Gores.
General Manager Troy Weaver and
the basketball staff will remain in their positions and current
roles while the organization assesses where adjustments are
needed.
Owner Tom Gores acknowledged the
team's underperformance this season, and looking ahead underscored
the Pistons strong foundation of young talent and the strategic
financial flexibility to enhance the team's roster.
"This past season has been incredibly difficult and frustrating
for our fans, players and our entire organization," said Gores. "We
will continue to invest in our core group of young players and
surround them with the right complementary talent."
The Pistons will move quickly to strengthen the front office and
will retain a national search firm to cast a wide net and find the
best candidates.
"I am committed to doing whatever it takes to build a winning
team," Gores explained. "Nothing is off the table. As tough as this
season has been, a bright future is available to us. It's in our
power to get this right, and we will. This is a pivotal summer for
the Pistons."
