Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Thursday, May 8th, 2008

The Sonics will announce the hire of Utah Jazz head scout Troy Weaver as the team's new assistant general manager today, according to NBA sources.

Weaver will replace Scott Perry, who left after a season with the Sonics, returning to the Detroit Pistons as vice president of basketball operations.

Weaver seems to fit Seattle general manager Sam Presti's vision for the job, with a background both as a talent evaluator and coach.

Weaver worked four years as Utah's head scout. Before joining the Jazz, Weaver worked as an assistant at Syracuse University for four seasons, primarily coaching the forwards. He also served as an assistant coach at Pittsburgh and New Mexico.

Weaver also has a connection with Kevin Durant. He coached AAU basketball in the Washington D.C. area from 1993 to 1996, where Durant played.
