So the "network" that runs FanDuel will be gone... I assume that DSN will take over that 'slot' on cable/satellite systems?  Will the Pistons integrate into DSN?  Or will they do their own thing?  The entertainment entities between the Gores and Ilitch company merged into the 313Presents, which used to be Olympia and Palace Sports and Entertainment.  So there is precedent to them merging some things and obviously they share LCA.  Granted you have statues of the Red Wings and the Giant Steve Yzemran picture holding the cup so one would be forgiven to thinking it's a hockey arena the Pistons play in, but other than that they do have fair share of Piston props throughout the concourse.  And this spring could be fun.  That's gotta rub Chris Ilitch the wrong way a little bit, if the Pistons, a tenant, take over LCA. They built that big plaza out front for fans to party in for playoff games and...

It will be interesting to see what happens to the Pistons.

I'll bet Gores makes a deal to join the Tigers and Wings.   It just makes too much sense.   Share equipment, talent, fans, marketing...

Have the Wings even ever had a playoff game at LCA? Its been 9 long, long years since they even made the playoffs. An entire generation of kids never saw them in them. They probably wonder why Detroit is called Hockeytown.

No.  The Pistons have played 5 playoff games there, losing all 5.  Last year they lost 3 home game by a combined 6 points.

No team has won a playoff game there yet

That's kind of the line you hear right now. I don't know enough to know if it will happen or not, but it makes a ton of sense. Heck, he already has the same stadium as the Wings.

I would be willing to bet the Pistons break that streak this season. Even without Cade.
