McDonough was the Suns’ GM from 2013-14 to 2018. The Suns had a winning season in his first year, followed by five straight losing seasons under him.

Wilcox was the former Hawks GM but lost his position in 2017. He was a candidate for the Bucks and Bulls GM jobs but did not get them.

Hughes has been with the Clippers since 2017. He played for Michigan in college and was a one-time Pistons player. He also has coaching and scouting experience.

The Pistons are 20-46 this season, which is 13th in the East.
