Gregg Krupa / The Detroit News
The Pistons are about to extend exclusive negotiations with the California financier Tom Gores for two weeks. The move comes after negotiations gathered steam this week.
Gores has remained in town for several days to participate in them directly. But sources close to the process told The Detroit News on Thursday there is no agreement in place to sell the team and the two sides continue to bargain on a price.

wtf is going on? Freep and Detnews with conflicting reports

[Glenn]

Some gal on twitter is trying to convince me (and others) that Gores is going to move the Pistons to the Honda Center in Anaheim.

[DrRay11]

That would suck. I thought the NBA already said the Pistons woudln't be moving?

[RegicideGreg]

Why the hell would they put a third team in the LA market is the real question.

[Glenn]

I think she's just dumb.

[DrRay11]

Man, I wish I hadn't already committed to not drinking this weekend. It is a day to celebrate.

MSUAD: Congratulations #Pistons on getting @TomGores as your new owner. Great #Spartan and person! #SpartanPride

WTFDetroit: @MSUAD He's coming for #IZZO!!

MSUAD: @WTFDetroit @TomGores Everyone comes after #Izzo and #Spartans would have it no other way! You want the guy everyone wants! #SpartanPride

LMAO

[Glenn]

There's potential here.

I'm thinking of going to twitter with, "A source tells me that Tom Izzo has an agreement in place with Gores to coach the Pistons next year. Sale of team was contingent on pact with Izzo."
