Pistons: We 'have a terrific home in Auburn Hills'

Tom Gores

In response to media reports about the team considering a move downtown, the Pistons released this statement from Mark Barnhill, a Partner with Pistons owner Tom Gores' Platinum Equity:

"Tom Gores and his partners are committed to investing broadly in Michigan, including Detroit and its surrounding communities, and to partnering with other business leaders on initiatives that will improve the economy and quality of life in the entire region. Pitting neighborhoods against one another is divisive and counterproductive, and misses the point.
