The Raptors are close to naming Tony Ronzone, the Pistons' director of basketball operations and chief international scout, as their assistant general manager.

Pistons president Joe Dumars said that the Raptors' have not asked for permission to talk to Ronzone but added that he wouldn't stand in Ronzone's way of taking that promotion.

Possibly another one in a long line of former Pistons to become members of the Raptors organization.

Brendan Malone - Coach
Isiah Thomas - GM
Jack "The Trader" McCloskey - Consultant (was Bad Boy GM)
Jerome "JYD" Williams - Player
Mike James - Player
Oliver Miller - Player
John Salley - Player
Darrel Walker - Coach
John Eddie Long - Player
Earl Cureton - Player
Micheal Williams - Player
Jermaine Jackson - Player
Eric Montross - Player
Lindsey Hunter - Player

And then the Raps who later became Pistons

Corliss Williamson - Player
Carlos Arroyo - Player
Chauncey Billups - Player
Lindsey Hunter - Player (on the rebound)

Don't forget Kevin O'Neill, Rick Carlisle's past and current assistant. Maybe they like the Tunnel being so close or something.

Wasn't Michael Curry a former player as well?
