The idea of Lebron James owning an NBA team isn’t a novel one nor is Dan Gilbert’s affinity for his hometown of Detroit, Michigan a secret. The question of whether or not Gilbert would sell the Cleveland Cavaliers in order to buy the Detroit Pistons is a novel idea, however.
Pistons owner Tom Gores owns 100.0 percent of the Detroit Pistons. After initially purchasing 51.0 percent of the team at $325 million, a bargain, Gores purchased the remaining 49.0 percent of the team from his firm, Platinum Equity.
