DETROIT (AP) --
DETROIT (AP) - Joe Dumars says he is not a candidate for a job
with the New Jersey Nets.
Responding to reports that he could be a replacement for Rod
Thorn, the Detroit president insisted Monday he doesn't have "any
interest in a basketball operations position with the Nets."
Dumars adds his priority is putting together a team to get the
Pistons back on track next season.
Thorn is leaving next week after 10 years as Nets president.
General managers Jeff Bower of New Orleans and Sam Presti of
Oklahoma City, and Nets vice president Bobby Marks are among the
leading candidates to replace Thorn.
