Pistons Seem to Continue to Roll downhill

          For years, the Pistons have been one of the NBA's proudest franchises accompanied with fantastic playoff success and loyal and zealous fans. But recently, this team has been in all types of adjustments with on-court issues as well as off-court such as the search for the new owner. Ever since Bill Davidson left the franchise, it seems the Pistons are in disarray and cannot seem to do anything productive. The rumors of leaving economically challenged michigan have diminished, but the franchise still needs a new owner and the process has not been smooth, to say the least. It is said that former Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, is close to closing a deal with the purchase of the Pistons. Not only does this prolonging issue cause worry for the fans, but the team is not spectacular by any means and have not shown any significant signs of improvement and are not in the position to improve any time soon. The Detroit Pistons have fallen downhill ever since the beginning of the 2008-2009 season with a 39-43 record overall. Although this record is satisfactory for the teams in the eastern conference, this was ultimately the sign of the Pistons declining as a superior franchise.
