Joe Dumars might not be replaced by Isiah Thomas, but it still seems unlikely Dumars will return next season as the Detroit Pistons general manager.

Dumars is in the final season of his contract. Ownership superseded him to fire his chosen head coach. And he didnt make a move at the trade deadline.

All signs point to Pistons owner Tom Gores running out the clock on Dumars.

Heres one more.

sources do not expect Dumars to stay in the position much longereither hell step down or owner Tom Gores will go in a new direction. Dumars, one source said, is weary of the criticism he has received in trying to rebuild the Pistons after constructing a franchise that went to the Eastern Conference Finals six years in a row (2003-2008). The criticism, the source said, fails to account for a dismal Detroit economy and restraints placed on Dumars while the franchise was up for sale and ultimately changed ownership hands.
