The Detroit Pistons are thinking about constructing a new practice facility in downtown Detroit just north of the new Little Caesars Arena at Woodward and I-75.
Both sides have acknowledged that they’re in at least preliminary talks to figure out how the Pistons could relocate from the Palace of Auburn Hills, their suburban Oakland County home since 1988.
Last summer, Pistons’ owner Tom Gores hired one of the best agents in the business, Arn Tellem, as vice chairman of Palace Sports and Entertainment.
Tellem’s role places him as the point man for the Pistons’ community outreach programs.
