Gores Approved By NBA

MIAMI -- NBA Commissioner David Stern says the sale of the Detroit Pistons to California investor Tom Gores has been approved by the league.

Stern said Tuesday night before Game 1 of the NBA finals he expects the sale to close officially at some point this week. The Pistons announced in April that Gores had agreed to buy the team, following a drawn-out sale by owner Karen Davidson that stretched back before the season.

The Pistons figure to be in for an eventful offseason once Gores assumes control of the franchise. They have missed the playoffs two straight seasons, and coach John Kuester's future is very much in doubt as the team tries to rebuild.

Just one step closer for Gores to do work

“We expect the deal to close this week,” Stern told reporters in Miami. “It’s very important to us, because we think Tom will bring renewed vigor and energy to that great franchise. And he’s really very anxious to get going. I spoke to him earlier today on my way here. And that’s a very good development for the Detroit Pistons and the good fans of Detroit.”

From what I hear, he sounds like the Mark Cuban type.
If he is, I will loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it.
