Ex-Knicks GM emerges as candidate for Pistons' president role

Former Knicks general manager Scott Perry has emerged as a candidate to be the Pistons‘ new president of basketball operations, reports Ian Begley of SNY.tv.

As Begley notes, Detroit is consulting with an outside firm in its search for a head of basketball operations.

A Detroit native who got his start as a front office executive with the Pistons in 2000, Perry had stints with Seattle, Orlando and Sacramento before becoming New York’s GM in 2017. He parted ways with the Knicks last year when his contract expired.

For the 2023-24 season, Perry has been working as an analyst for ESPN. According to Begley, Perry is “well-regarded around the league among executives and agents.”

Marc Stein previously reported some other potential candidates to watch in Detroit’s search.
