Tom Gore is a unknown, but the fact that he put of the Cash to do the deal leaves me to belive that he has some instrest in this business.  I can only hope that he will allow the people he is paying (like Joe D) to do the job he is paying them to do.  Now Joe D has 2 - 3 years to get the back on track.  Final note, I hope that Tom Gore get the team moved into Downtown Detroit with in the next 5 seasons.

You can see it when they complain about how much it took to sell the franchise. People seem to have absolutely ZERO idea how long those things can take. I wish people were more informed. Or at least informed themselves before complaining about it.   It seems to me most fans are completely clueless about the NBA business and business in general.

Thomas fan....   You all know what that means: New GM !!!!     On a serious note, Patrick Hayes above does a great job of raising the IQ level of the commenters.

But now there is hope and plenty of news coming up for the summer with trades and free agent pick-up's. I agree that joe should stay at least another year under new ownership because now he dont have no excuse on what type of player or coach he can bring in. I think you might see that old Joe D magic back, but I hope he does get some help to work with him scott perry is cool but he's no john hammond you need a eye for talent with joe mabey he can try to get lindsey hunter or mabey grant hill if he retires as a talent scout. But besides that GREAT NEWS TOODAY! this has to be the best news all season cain't wait for the draft lottery and the draft in june now.. this will be some fun reads.
