Brian Collangelo next GM?

He's the front runner for the job as of now. How do we feel about him? I'm not sure he's an upgrade over Joe. Thoughts?

If you think about it he brought the raptors whole starting five in plus the coach so he ant be too bad he won EOY twice

I didn't like him too much, but we might really need a name and experience. He has both. Third time could be the charm. Collangelo, Thibs and deal our lottery pick for for all three of Phoenix picks with Collangelo connection. Jarebko leaves. Sign Collison and Granger, resign Monroe, we're good for a couple years. until we make a leap to the elite.

He passed on Drummond because he didn't have marketability.

Man, a couple of posters already replied to this in the "GM Search 2014" thread. Collangelo would be an awful pick-up for the Pistons!

This is a guy who gave Bargnani $40+ million, also selecting Bargs first overall, opposed to taking LaMarcus Aldridge or even Brandon Roy.

Also the same guy took Terrence Ross over Andre Drummond, because they already had Jonas Valangina or however it's spelled.

Yes, he brought in the current Raps starting 5. But, any Raps fan would probably say he's done far more harm to the franchise than good during his tenure there.

I would honestly just give up on this team if they signed him on. I would have absolutely zero expectations for this franchise until he was gone and Gores sells it to somebody who isn't a complete imbecile.

This.

Heres where this rumor stems from.

After a year on hiatus multiple NBA sources have told Sportsnet that he’s close to joining the fray again and is a leading candidate to run the Detroit Pistons.

if you think about it, it makes sense

mediocre franchise hires mediocre leader and remains mediocre for years to come, sounds about right

He cant manage the cap. He is responsible for the Suns never reaching the Finals. Even yrs after he was gone the Suns were selling picks for cash to not pay the tax.

If we hire Colangelo I will vomit and die at the same time. He is worse then Dumars...

Horrendous gm. I wonder if some of the guys supporting him supported the Josh Smith deal as well. :banghead:

Sources: #Pistons GM search still in "early stages" and many candidates have not yet been contacted by team.

I imagine those candidates that haven't been contracted yet are the ones that are on teams that are still in the playoffs.
