The Detroit Pistons just acquired one of the biggest names in his profession, but it’s someone who will never enter an NBA game.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, agent Arn Tellem has agreed to become vice chairman of Palace Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Pistons. Per Wojnarowski:
Tellem will answer directly to billionaire owner Tom Gores, but will not become the ultimate authority on the Pistons’ basketball decisions, sources said. That responsibility will remain with president and coach Stan Van Gundy.
Tellem, an undisputed power at Wasserman Media Group, will leave one of the most impressive client lists to his cohorts, as Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders points out.
