Mr D is 83 years old and worth $3.5 bill. Though not as well off as Gates or Buffet, he is a philanthropist who is starting to donate his millions to schools like his alma mater U-M and other areas. Maybe with sale of the Lightning he is realizing that he is not getting any younger and ready to start dispersing his other holdings like the Pistons..

The Pistons are currently worth about $402 mill. We have over 1000 Pistom forum members. If we all could come up with about $400k each, we could buy this team and give it our own philsophy and direction
