I think we lost our last thread.
So was Magic mentioned when Gore was mentioned to buy the team or was Magic mentioned with Mr I?
The 30 day negotiating period must be in day 12 or something.

Magic was with Iltich
the sale is taking forever, Karen is too greedy
The press release that Gore was given the 30 day exclus right to purchase was announced on Jan 7th. 17 days ago.
Wasn't that around the Forbes estimated value last time it was updated? Oakland went for 450 but that was WAY above it's estimated value (at least by Forbes).
So does Tom Gores go by "Alec"?
I didn't catch that the first time through. I've never heard him called that before.
Alec Gores...Tom's brother?

Looks like Mr Ozanian might have made an error there.
Yep, brothers. Maybe they're going to buy them together.
I wish they'd hurry the fuck up...
Why the fuck has this taken so damn long?
Alec is buying the Dodgers. That's what the article says. Did it say something different when you guys read it?
^ He def scrubbed that...at least from the recollection of this old man.
Original article focused on "Will he buy the Pistons or the Dodgers?".
Tom Walsh: No deal yet on Pistons sale as deadline nears
Groupon, interesting...
Tom Gores Reportedly 'Assessing' Pistons Deal; Eric Lefkofsky Not Interested? http://sbn.to/ihkug6
^ That didn't read all that great for those of us wanting a deal. Could happen though. But with Illitch not buying, you couldn't blame Gore for going over this deal with a fine tooth comb.
Pistons go from 480 mil to 360 mil in value in just one year, damn no wonder Karen is pissed
30 day exclusive was announced on Jan 7th.
Shouldn't be a surprise, but nice to hear.

The mysteries surrounding the Pistons’ present and future continue, making this the most compelling losing team we’ve had around here in quite awhile.
There was an intriguing assemblage in Palace suite No. 125 during Tuesday’s game against San Antonio. Billionaire suitor Tom Gores made his first Palace appearance, watching the Spurs’ 100-89 victory with owner Karen Davidson, chief operating officer Alan Ostfield and other high-ranking franchise officials.
The gathering stirred optimism that perhaps a deal was close with Gores, a Beverly Hills financier, making his first public appearance in Auburn Hills.
Both Gores and Davidson declined comment.
It’s the smart move. Silence is the best strategy, considering the sensitivity of any potential corporate sale on such a large scale. Don’t risk sending any mixed messages that could create further challenges in what’s already believed to be a difficult negotiation.

I was telling folks I didn't think Magic would be involved in the #Pistons. I was right, 32 just made an 8-figure investment in #Vibe mag
man, when the fuck is this going to happen?
/impatience
Sold, Suckas!! Yes! All hail Gores!

KD tells Bernie Smilowitz there's no deal yet.
(According to some guy on twitter so pretty tenuous...)
(At Best)
Kuester should probably start packing his shit.
^ lol nice one.
^^Now I really like him.
