The Illitches HAVE to buy the team. Nobody gets Detroit more than they do...they are really the most logical AND BEST, choice.

This has gotta be "sweet rhapsody" to anybody with a heartbeat in the state of Michigan - or from the state of Michigan. Was there ever a match more made in heaven? Mr. D was a GREAT sports owner (can you say "Roundball 1"?); and the Illitches are right there. The Illitches get to buy a premiere franchise at a discount (everyone knows Karen wants out - bad for resale prices); and Michigan gets to keep the Pistons! Heck - they might even become the "Detroit" Pistons again. Kudos! Let's make this happen NOW. Man, Oh Man, Oh Man, Oh Man!!
