Pistons exec: Davidson widow to be owner

All details are not known, but it’s safe to say that Bill Davidson’s wife, Karen, will succeed him as owner of the Pistons, according to Palace Sports and Entertainment president Tom Wilson.
What is certain is that Joe Dumars will remain in charge of the basketball operations for the franchise purchased by Davidson, who died Friday at the age of 86, in 1974 and that Wilson will run the business side of things.
But the organization wasn’t ready to discuss who they would answer to, but Wilson said today that a succession plan is in place.
“It will still be a family decision,” Wilson said. “Without getting into too many details, his wife will succeed him.
“There’s always a trust when you have this magnitude of wealth and influence and everything like that.”
