DETROIT

Detroit is not a lost cause. It is a city full of people who know how to build things. Investing in Detroit is investing in resilience.

I bought the Pistons because I believe in Detroit. Sometimes the best investments are the ones that are also the right thing to do.

I want this team to reflect what Detroit is — tough, hardworking, resilient. We are going to build something the whole city can be proud of.

Detroit is a resilient city. It has been through things that would have broken other places. That resilience is in the DNA of this team.
