Dan Gilbert doesn’t just tell LeBron James how to handle his business. The Cavaliers owner also tells Pistons owner Tom Gores how to handle his.
Gilbert – again – has publically suggested the Pistons should move from the suburb of Auburn Hills to downtown Detroit. Gilbert, via Mike Wilkinson of The Detroit News:
“Let’s face it, (arenas) don’t belong in a farm field in the suburbs.”
It wouldn’t be quite so good for the citizens of cash-strapped Detroit, who would almost certainly have to foot the bill. The Palace is privately owned, and Gores has invested in upgrading the arena.
When The Palace becomes obsolete, a downtown arena might make sense, but right now, Gilbert should butt out.
