[RealGM Wiretap]

The Detroit Pistons have identified several candidates as contenders for their president of basketball operations role. Trajan Langdon, Scott Perry, Dennis Lindsey and John Hammond have all impressed in recent interviews with Pistons owner Tom Gores.

Detroit is also interested in Tim Connelly, who is currently the president of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Connelly reportedly has an out after this season in his deal with the Wolves.

Langdon is the New Orleans Pelicans general manager. Perry is currently working for ESPN as an analyst, and most recently worked in the New York Knicks front office. Lindsey is an advisor to the Dallas Mavericks, while Hammond holds a similar role with the Orlando Magic.

The Pistons are looking for a new front office leader. Interested candidates have been told that they will be given the ability to reshape Detroit's basketball operations department as they see fit.

"Contenders?" LOL

You mean human sacrifices?

It’s a tremendous opportunity for any candidate who wants to take on the challenge, and what a challenge it is.

If they are successful, it will lead to accolades and other opportunities. If they fail, well it’s the Pistons, and they’ll have a paycheck to sit home until they move onto something else.

My only reservation would be how involved is ownership. In any profession, there is nothing more frustrating than having others meddle in your work.

Arturas Karnisovas is absolutely great.

You should do everything in your power to acquire him, Detroit!!

The Pistons might be willing to overpay for this role, just like how they did for their coaching position.
