Dumars: 'I do not have any interest in a basketball operations position with the Nets'

Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars has denied having any interest in the Nets general manager job.

“In response to today’s media reports regarding the New Jersey Nets, I can say that I do not have any interest in a basketball operations position with the Nets," Dumars said in a statement released by the Pistons. "My priority is to continue leading the Pistons’ basketball operations efforts and putting together a team that is ready to compete and get back on track next season.”

A New Jersey paper reported Dumars had interviewed for the Nets position, which will open up July 15 when Rod Thorn resigns.
