Seems like taking the Tom Wilson role would be a step down from being a mega-agent, but what do I know about either?

Wonder how much ownership stake he's getting

Maybe Gores is convinced the downtown Detroit real estate market is finally turning the corner and Tellem is getting in on the ground floor.

Sounds like he's getting milestone-based ownership options:

Tellem will not have an ownership stake when he joins the franchise in August, but a direct equity stake is possible in the future, a Pistons spokesman said.

Van Gundy was hired a year ago by Gores to breathe new life into the struggling Pistons basketball team, which has failed to make the NBA playoffs every year since the death of former owner Bill Davidson in 2009. The Pistons fell short again this past year with a record of 32-50, but Van Gundy still has the owner's confidence. "Stan, in a year, has done a better job than we did in the previous three as far as getting the team stabilizing and headed in a certain direction," Gores said.

Is @fatjoedumars still alive? Wonder what he thinks about that statement.
