Troy Weaver Has Been Let Go By The Pistons

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and multiple other reports, the Detroit Pistons have decided to let go of their general manager, Troy Weaver. His time has come to an end after spending four years with the franchise.

After hiring their new president of basketball operations, Trajan Langdon, it was expected he would make sweeping changes and try to reset this franchise from the inside out. His first order of business was to let go of their general manager.

Under Weaver, Detroit struggled to be meaningful, winning only 23% of its games over four years. Its total record was 74-244, which is horrible considering it had back-to-back seasons of being the worst team in the league record-wise.

Detroit is looking to continue to build around Cade Cunningham, the draft, and other key areas to see if they can improve themselves out of the worst record in the league.

According to Houston Rockets’ head coach Ime Udoka, with Dorian Finney-Smith still recovering from offseason ankle surgery, he is set to miss the season opener on October 21st. They will be facing the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Udoka said he has no timetable of when the 32-year-old will be back, as they will be cautious and not rushing him back into the swing of things.

“No, probably not,” Ime Udoka said when asked if Finney-Smith would be ready for the opener.

Finney-Smith recently signed a four-year, $53 million contract with Houston earlier in the summer.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, like the Al Horford scenario, two players have verbally committed to playing for the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State got confirmation from Gary Payton II and De’Anthony Melton that they both will be on the Warriors’ roster for the upcoming season. This is shortly after Horford committed to a multi-year deal.

Payton will be returning to the Warriors for his sixth-straight season, with Melton returning for his second season. His first run didn’t go so well due to him tearing his ACL mid-November.

These signings will be official once the Jonathan Kuminga situation is resolved. The deadline for Kuminga to sign his qualifying offer is October 1st.
