Weaver becomes the ninth Black general manager currently in the NBA. Yahoo! Sports senior writer Vincent Goodshill called it "a miracle for the Pistons" to add him to the front office.

"Pistons front office has gotten whiter and whiter and whiter last several years," Goodwill said. "Troy Weaver, who is obviously a black man, coming in with almost full authority is a huge chance for ownership. Best decision Tom Gores has made since becoming master owner in 2011.”
