DETROIT – Mike Ilitch, the Little Caesars pizza mogul who already owns the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings, said Monday that he wants to buy the Detroit Pistons in part to make sure another buyer doesn’t move the NBA franchise out of town.
The Pistons declined to comment on Ilitch’s interest in the team, which Forbes valued at $479 million last year.
Pistons owner Karen Davidson has said she’s considering a sale of the team by itself or as part of a package with Palace Sports and Entertainment, which includes The Palace of Auburn Hills, DTE Energy Music Theatre and Meadow Brook Music Festival.
Her husband, Bill Davidson, died last year. The late owner known as “Mr. D” helped the Pistons win NBA titles in 1989, 1990 and 2004. Karen Davidson has said she expects the deal to be done by the opening game in late October.

LeBron James thanked his fans in Cleveland for their support on Saturday at a charity cycling event in his hometown, his first area visit since dumping the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.
Hundreds of people attended the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player’s “King for Kids” celebration, which came a week after James was criticized for a newspaper ad thanking Akron backers but not mentioning fans in Cleveland.
“To the city of Cleveland, my fans in Cleveland, my fans in northeast Ohio, I want to say thank you for the last seven years and the years that continue to go in the future,” James said.

Hi there, Will you be writing a follow-up write-up? The spouse and myself have taken some time browsing over your site and interestingly you touched on something i was talking over just the other week with our dentist. We often notice ourselves arguing about the smallest of things, isn’t it ridiculous?
If only you had the resources to raise your speed, often your web page doesn’t load fast.
Solid article. There’s a lot of good info here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Ubuntu with the up-to-date beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of bizarre for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so good.
What a write!! Very informative and also easy to understand. Looking for more such posts!! Do you have a myspace or a facebook?
I recommended it on digg. The only thing that it’s missing is a bit of new design. However thank you for this blog.
yes i do. post you fb profile here then i will add you.
Just gonna commentabout this article, after reading whole of this it make me to have new vision about one important event, hope I can read more great news again from you so I bookmark your website.
I think that Dixon has looked fairly sound, but they are heading to require the running game and defense to carry the team until Ben gets back. They simply can not manage to slide in to a large hole early in the season. As strong as the ravens and bengals are going to end up being this year, a 3 game defecit may be too much to get over.
Good point and thanks for visiting sportsniper.com. Please do visit us again and share your interesting insights.
Major thankies for the blog post.Really looking forward to read more. Really Cool.
Your welcome Dinah. Thanks visiting sportsniper.com.
