While Tim Connelly is likely the Detroit Pistons' top candidate to run their front office and Jon Horst will not be made available for an interview, a number of other candidates have emerged.

Trajan Langdon, Dennis Lindsey and Marc Eversley are among the potential candidates for the Pistons, sources tell James L. Edwards III and Shams Charania of The Athletic. 

Langdon is currently general manager of the New Orleans Pelicans under David Griffin.

Lindsey is in an advisory role with the Dallas Mavericks. 

Eversley is general manager of the Chicago Bulls under Arturas Karnisovas. Eversley was a candidate for the Pistons in 2020 before they hired Troy Weaver.

The Detroit Pistons plan on pursuing Tim Connelly to run their front office, sources tell James L. Edwards III and Shams Charania of The Athletic. 

Connelly is expected to opt out of his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves even if he intends to stay with the franchise. Connelly is considered likely to return to the Wolves, but an offer from the Pistons worth approximately $15 million per season could sway the decision. 

The Wolves hired Connelly away from the Denver Nuggets in 2022, but he has an opt-out this offseason. 

The Milwaukee Bucks denied permission from the Pistons to interview Jon Horst for the job.

Neil Olshey declined an interview with the Detroit Pistons over the vacant president of basketball operations position, sources told Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports.

The Bucks declined a request from the Pistons to interview Jon Horst on Sunday. 

It was reported earlier this month that the Pistons were monitoring Tim Connelly's situation with the Timberwolves while also registering interest in Dennis Lindsey. 

The NBA held its 2024 draft lottery in Chicago on Sunday with the Atlanta Hawks winning the top overall pick. The Hawks entered the lottery with just a three percent chance of securing the top pick.

The Milwaukee Bucks declined to grant permission to the Detroit Pistons to interview Jon Horst for their president of basketball operations position.

Horst began his NBA career with the Pistons and is a native of Michigan.

Horst assumed control of the Bucks' front office in 2017 and has made a series of blockbuster trades beginning with Jrue Holiday in 2020 and Damian Lillard in 2023.

Dennis Lindsey is other publicly known candidate for the Pistons at this time.

The Detroit Pistons are set to formally request an interview with Jon Horst for their vacant president of basketball operations position, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

It is unknown whether the Bucks will grant the request.

The Pistons have also been linked with Tim Connelly and Scott Perry for the position. 

The Detroit Pistons are considering former New York Knicks general manager Scott Perry for their President of Basketball Operations role, sources told Ian Begley of SNY.

Perry, a Detroit native, worked in the Pistons' front office under Joe Dumars during the team's 2004 title season.

The Pistons are also interested in Tim Connelly, Dennis Lindsey, and JJ Redick. 

The Detroit Pistons would have interest in Tim Connelly as their new president of basketball operations should Connelly opt out of his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves this offseason, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Connelly is currently in the second year of a five-year deal.

The Pistons are also interested in Dennis Lindsey, currently a Mavs consultant, for the role.

JJ Redick is also a name to monitor for the open position, sources told Stein.

The new president of basketball operations would make the final decision on Troy Weaver's future with the Pistons next season.

The Detroit Pistons could pursue Tobias Harris in free agency, sources tell Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Pistons are attempting to accelerate their rebuild and could use a veteran presence on the wing.

Harris is coming off a five-year, $180 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Pompey also writes that "Harris may be as good as gone" from the Sixers this offseason.

Harris was traded by the Orlando Magic to the Pistons in 2016 shortly after signing a four-year, $64 million deal. Harris was subsequently part of a 2018 trade to the Los Angeles Clippers for Blake Griffin. Harris was traded in 2019 to the Sixers.

The Detroit Pistons are believed to have interest in hiring Jon Horst as president of basketball operations. 

Horst won Executive of the Year in 2021 when the Milwaukee Bucks won the championship following their trade for Jrue Holiday.

Horst is a Michigan native and his first NBA job was with the Pistons.
