Detroit Pistons complete takeover
By Scott Howard-Cooper,NBA.com
The saga came to an end.Ilitch, who owns the Detroit Tigers baseball team and Detroit Red Wings hockey team, said in August that he wanted to buy the Pistons, confirming speculation that had raged since the basketball team's longtime owner died last year.Many analysts think Ilitch would move the Pistons to downtown Detroit, where his other teams play. Ilitch has said in the past that he wants to build a new arena downtown for his hockey team, and adding the NBA team as a co-tenant would make fiscal sense.Magic Johnson was also included in this rumors as he was pointed as a co-owner of the team.
The former LA Lakers point guard,who was inducted to the hall of fame,decided to go alone in this race.Earvin Johnson,who is considered,the richest former NBA player bought the Pistons for the amount of 360 million dollars.
Earvin also decided not to move the Pistons to other city or to downtown Detroit which was the idea of Ilitch.The Pistons will stay in the Auburn Hills.
"This is one of the best franchises to ever play in the NBA.It was a long battle and I'm pretty happy that I won it.The team was struggling in the past 4-5 years and I want to get them back to their glory days.Everybody remembered the Bad Boys era.They beat my LA Lakers in 1989 to won their first NBA championship.That was a great team,you know,Joe,Isaiah,Dennis...
blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah
...So lets go to work.The first thing I'll do here is to fire Joe Dumars.Im in some talks with other possible general managers and we will decide in days who will be the new GM and President of Basketball Operations.
Coach Kuester will stay for this season.So this is for now.See you this days ! ",Magic Johnson telling the press what will happen this year.
Dennis Rodman appointed as Pistons GM and President of Basketball Operations
NBA.com
One day after Joe Dumars was fired,another "bad boy" was hired at the position of Pistons GM.Dennis Rodman will be the new general manager.Magic Johnson,who is now the owner of that Pistons team,had talks with Rodman for months and "Dennis the Menace" accepted the proposition.The Worm was one of the greatest players in the game known most for his incredible rebounding and hustle to play the game.
"I decided to go back to basketball,I was missing the game and when Magic called me I was really unsure about that.At first i didn't believe that he could buy the team,but he did it.Detroit is like my hometown,I won my first title here and I had such a great moments with all the guys.
I want the glory to come back to this town,I want the NBA Championship to be here again,so i will do my best to complete this task.The Bad Bots will become the Bad Boys again !!!"

Chris Paul saga comes to an end.
Three time NBA All-Star,former NBA Rookie of the year,Chris Paul,was traded to the Pistons last night.After months of him saying that he wants to be traded,it finally happened.The Knicks,the Magic,the Mavericks and the Pistons were the possible teams that could have Paul on their side but he arrived in Detroit.The Hornets decided to accept their offer.Detroit sent Ben Gordon,Will Bynum and a first round draft pick from 2011 NBA Draft to New Orleans in exchange of the point guard.
Chris Paul will wear number 13 because Rodney Stuckey is wearing number 3.
"Im really sad to leave New Orleans,i love the city ! I had great moments their,the people there are just great you know..but its time for a new beginning.Im proud to be announced as a Pistons point guard.Its a team with great traditions,great players,great city.We will try to qualify for the playoffs this year and I think we can do it.We have nice team in the face of Richard,who is a great friend of mine,Tayshaun,who is probably one of the best defenders in the NBA if healthy.Tracy McGrady is feeling great right now and i think he still has something to show the world."
