Should Billups get the position, he will replace former GM Wes Wilcox, who resigned from the position May 5 after the Hawks’ Game 6 loss to the Wizards in the NBA playoffs’ opening series.
Most will remember Billups as the 2004 NBA Finals MVP, when he helped the Pistons to their first title since 1989. Billups was a 17-year veteran and five-time NBA All-Star in the league, playing for seven teams over his career, most notably the Pistons.
