The Detroit Pistons will search for an assistant general manager after they hire a general manager.
Tayshaun Prince and Chauncey Billups are two former players of the Pistons that they would have interest in hiring for an assistant general manager position.
Prince is currently vice president of basketball affairs for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Billups has expressed that he would only be interested in being hired as general manager. The Pistons would prefer to hire Billups as an assistant GM because he has no previous NBA executive experience. Billups turned down an opportunity to run the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017 to remain in broadcasting.

Truth. I know former players usually bomb as GMs, but for some reason he seems like he’d be great.

same. i can't put my finger on it. i just get the feeling he would do a really good job. he seems to be really well respected and an excellent communicator. i know those are far from the only criteria, but i bet he'd kill it. he's already been in talks with teams, so they must see something that makes him a candidate.

If they decide to go with Chauncey & Tayshaun, they can't half-ass it. This would be a total rebuild, getting rid of almost everyone and tanking for 2-3 season and turning it around in year 4.

Ben Wallace, head of scouting. Rip Hamilton salary cap management. Rasheed Wallace, director of player/personnel.
Pistons are in trouble.

Can see Prince as Billups' Asst GM, but, doubt they'll ever consider that.
