Two of the Detroit Pistons' most notable former executives are running the New Orleans Pelicans.
Joe Dumars, who was just named president of basketball operations, has hired Troy Weaver as senior vice president of basketball operations according to a report from Marc J. Spears of Andscape. Weaver previously was a senior advisor for his hometown Washington Wizards.
Weaver was general manager of the Pistons from 2020-24. He compiled a talented young core — one that on Monday snapped the team's 17-year drought without a playoff win this week — and cleaned up the team's financial outlook.
