Dumars scares me because the league he was successful in is nothing like the league we're in today. And its evolving FAST.
The last thing I want is for Dumars to come in with that old arse, slow it down, walk it up and get stops, Pistons philosophy.
If we're looking for some new cutting edge, innovative shite, Dumars is the last guy we want.
His coaching hires since 2009: Michael Curry, John Kuester, Lawrence Frank, Maurice Cheeks , John Loyer
A whos who of no named bums

Ex-fricking-actly.
The league passed him by completely and he did not adjust at all. Almost every move he made post championship run was a disaster. And his coaching hires...woof.
If its just a senior advisory role, but Dell or whomever the GM really calls the shots, fine. But I don't want Dumars actually making decisions.

This is largely a top-down approach and the Pistons have a couple of old-school guards in the top chairs. I've never heard Joe Dumars utter the word "analytics," much less apply one. Maurice Cheeks, asked about advanced statistics earlier this year, responded with something about 3-point percentage. They govern by eyeballs
Lawrence Frank was attuned to analytics and who/what succeeded/failed under specific conditions or stimuli. He had a coaching staff that was attuned to it, too. Cheeks' coaches are, too. Cheeks has admitted his coaches would inundate him with such statistical analysis if he showed interest in it, which he admits he generally doesn't. Cheeks' stated approach is that he'll listen to anything interesting that's brought to him. If you bring him good information, he's more likely to listen. That's the analytics department here.

League's moving in one direction and Dumars is still doing Bad Boys Pistons documentaries.
