With the arrival of Trajan Langdon as president of the Pistons, Troy Weaver was ruled out. He was the GM of the Detroit franchise since 2020 and failed to get the team out of the bottom places in the league. Especially this season, with only 14 victories on the clock, without forgetting a historic series of 28 defeats in a row…
In addition, his choices in the Draft have not always yielded very juicy fruits. We can think of Killian Hayes (2020), who failed to establish himself in Michigan, or even Cade Cunningham (2021) and Jaden Ivey (2022) who have certainly made statistics but have not yet done so. progress their team.
Now free, will Troy Weaver bounce back soon? According to HoopsHype, the Wizards could represent a possible avenue. For several reasons. Already because he is coming out of a reconstruction experience with the Pistons and the Wizards will do the same, focusing on training from now on.
A trio that worked well at the Thunder
Also because he is a native of Washington. But above all because he has already worked with local leaders. The former GM of the Pistons has indeed rubbed shoulders with the president of the Wizards, Michael Winger, and the GM, Will Dawkins, at the Thunder.
The three men were together in Oklahoma City starting in 2010 (and throughout this decade), when Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were beginning their rise to the top. We remember that the Thunder will compete in the Finals in 2012, beaten by LeBron James and the Heat, then will not be far from finding them in 2016, after its defeat in Game 7 of the conference final against the Warriors, after having led 3-1 in the series.
