ESPNs Adrian Wojnarowski reported this week that the Detroit Pistons have started a search for a general manager, a position that has been filled by senior adviser Ed Stefanski for the last two years. The NBA season, currently suspended due to COVID-19, was, for intents and purposes, over for the Pistons, even before the suspension.
