Fresh of Larry Lage's Twitter feed this morning, the Bearded One learned that Mike Ilitch, Little Caesar's founder, will be the new owner of the Detroit Pistons. We all know that by now, I just wanna throw my two cents in on it.
Personally, I like it. Ilitch turned the Dead Wings into the powerhouse franchise it is today. The Tigers were miserable for awhile but now have only had one losing season in the past five. This will be good for the Pistons, there are for sure staying in Michigan, and probably getting a downtown arena with the Wings. A much needed arena for the Wings and also get the Pistons in the Detroit area.
The one concern that I have, and everyone has, is will he be able to spend on all three teams without one being thrown to the way-side? Well to be honest, I don't think it's possible for him to spend evenly. The Red Wings used to get his biggest investment, until the cap was made, then the Tigers finally got money put into them. If a team gets shafted, it will most likely be the Pistons. But Ilitch is a terrific sport's owner and I don't think there is a better local man that could have bought the team.
