CHICAGO — The Detroit Pistons could come to a hiring decision on their president of basketball operations within the next few weeks, league sources tell The Athletic.

Whomever the Pistons tab for the position won’t have the benefit of a top-three pick at their disposal, as the organization fell to No. 5 for the third straight year during Sunday’s NBA Lottery, but even so, Detroit has been speaking to some promising candidates to fill the role, which has been vacant since 2018.

Part of the hold up, league sources say, is that Detroit appears interested in making a run at Minnesota Timberwolves head executive Tim Connelly, whose team is currently in the midst of a second-round playoff matchup with Connelly’s former team, the defending-champion Denver Nuggets.

Whether or not Connelly returns to the Timberwolves, league sources say he is likely to opt out of the final year of his contract. It seems likely that Connelly will return to Minnesota, but if Pistons owner Tom Gores is willing to offer something like $15 million annually, that could be enough to pry him away.

Long-term, positive stability just doesn't seem to be a thing the wolves are allowed to have. Good times don't last long here but hoping Tim continues to be part of it.

Lasted a week. As long as the summer season

I’ll never understand why teams wouldn’t be willing to pay 10-20m for a PBO. It’s the most important position in the organization. More important than our 6th or 7th man. Pay the man what equates to the MLE.

100%

Especially since it doesn’t affect your salary cap.

I’m not going to click on a Stephen A Smith link, but he certainly has much more to be embarrassed about than this. He’s a particularly embarrassing loudmouth.

Yeah, I mostly posted it because Perkins is still riding with the wolves to win the series. So it wasn't just SA being SA

NYK and IND are playing game 6 today and they already got their game 7 time slot locked. MIN and DEN are for sure going to game 7, yet our tee time is TBD? Shouldn't we get the start time slotted first?

Game 7 is the real NBA championship. They need to make sure to get time slot correct.

They can’t.

If there is only one game Sunday, they want a matinee. If there are 2 games, they don’t want the East Coast teams playing the late game.
