Fans of the Detroit Pistons need to face reality when under the ownership of Tom Gores.

In June of 2011, Tom Gores purchased the Detroit Pistons for $325 million. In what was seen as a bargain at the time, the Pistons hold a current valuation of roughly $1.45 billion. In a fiscal sense, Gores has seen success in Detroit. On the court however, the story hasn’t been the same.

Since the 2011-2012 season, the Pistons have had five different coaches and have only achieved one winning season.
