Word out of Detroit is that J.R. Holden, the Nets director of player personnel, is a candidate for the Pistons’ assistant GM job now that Troy Weaver has been named GM. Although Holden admits his goal is to be an NBA GM some day, it seems like prying him away from Brooklyn could be tough for the Pistons.
Holden, a European legend, held court for more than two hours on a Eurohoops podcast posted Thursday. Like many Nets players, he had nothing but praise for the organization, particularly how it’s treated him and his family during the COVID-19 crisis.
