PISTONS ANNOUNCE NEW BOSS

The Detroit Pistons today unveiled new owner Martin Kleijsters. Kleijsters owns an oil company in Germany and is classified as a billionaire, so financial backing can be assured. As well as being financially interested, Kleijsters has also been an NBA fan sine the early 1990s, and has been a Pistons fanatic since then. He has had Pistons season tickets since 1997/8 and is happy to become involved with the club.

"I'm here to help", Martin said at a press conference earlier, "I witnessed the championship in 2003/04. I know the importance of basketball in this city and I want to see it thrive again."

We are as eager as he is, and lay in wait for his first move.

BRANDON ROY RELEASED, PISTONS INTERESTED?

Today it was announced that the Portland Trail Blazers have released Brandon Roy. Roy, 28, has spent many years troubled by injuries in the NBA which is possibly the reason that Portland got rid of him.*

However, he has had many inspirational moments, including a 4th quarter comeback for Portland against Dallas in last year's playoffs. This means surely one team would enjoy his services.

Well that team, sources understand, could be the Pistons. He would fit in perfectly at the guard position and would provide much needed depth for a roster that is bare with potential rather than talent.

When asked, new owner Martin Kleijsters had this to say: "He's a great player. While I'm not ruling out us acquiring him, I don't think anyone is. He is undoubtedly talented and if he can keep healthy then its anyone's gain."
