NBA Rumors: Pistons' New Top Exec Will Have Clearance to Fire GM Troy Weaver

Troy Weaver's days with the Detroit Pistons may be numbered. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported Sunday that the franchise's search for a president of basketball operations does not include a stipulation that Weaver, the team's current general manager, must retain his position next season. "Potential candidates for the position have been informed they will have the agency to dismiss Weaver from his post, league sources told Yahoo Sports," Fischer wrote. Fischer also reported that the Pistons have had some difficulty filling the position, as the Milwaukee Bucks blocked general manager Jon Horst from interviewing for the position and others like former Portland Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey declined the Pistons' "outreach."
