Grant Hill As The Pistons New GM?

Joe Dumars, who is now known as the former GM of the Detroit Pistons, could potentially be replaced by another former Piston. Maybe Chauncey Billups? He has seemed to express interest.

But another new name emerged today by way of Marc Stein of ESPN:

Really? Grant Hill? That can't be right. Hill played for the Pistons from 1994-2000; he was the third overall draft pick in the 1994 by the Pistons. Dumars and Hill played together in those awful teal jerseys, but I don't see any way Tom Gores could hire Grant Hill as the GM.

Hill, who currently hosts the revamped "NBA Inside Stuff," and also anchors NBA TV's night highlight program as well as some duties with TNT -- just isn't ready to lead a team. Especially a team that needs help. Could the Pistons really want a GM who hasn't had a position in any NBA front office?

Stein also added this about Scott Perry:

I think Perry would be a much better option than Hill -- but who am I to say.
