Hornets general manager Jeff Bower says that he isn't interested in taking the same job in New Jersey.

Detroit's Joe Dumars made a similar claim on Monday, taking his name out of the race by denying reports of interest.

"Hornets GM Bower, per team release, joins Pistons GM Dumars in saying not interested in Nets GM gig," Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports wrote on his Twitter page.
