Bad evening for the Pistons on Sunday. Already, while they had the worst record of the regular season, they only obtained the fifth choice in the next Draft. Then they received a negative response from the Bucks.
We know that in recent days, the Detroit franchise had requested authorization to meet Milwaukee GM Jon Horst to offer him the position of president, a position vacant since 2018 in Michigan.
A logical choice since he began his career in the offices in Detroit, between 2007 and 2008, then has above all carried out enormous work in Milwaukee since 2017, managing to make the Bucks a stronghold in the league, around Giannis Antetokounmpo .
But as the manager was under contract, the green light had to be obtained. Our colleague Mark Stein tells us that the Pistons did not obtain the agreement from the Bucks. The track therefore collapses.
We must therefore turn to other targets: until now, we have put forward the names of Tim Connelly (Wolves), Scott Perry (Knicks, but not for long…), Dennis Lindsey (Mavericks) and finally JJ Redick.
