      AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - The new owner of the Detroit Pistons
says Joe Dumars will remain the organization's point man on
basketball matters as the team tries to rebuild after missing the
playoffs two straight seasons.
      Owner Tom Gores was introduced at The Palace on Thursday, a day
after completing an agreement to purchase the Pistons from Karen
Davidson. Gores says he'll "lean on" Dumars, the team president
who has been part of all three of Detroit's NBA titles as either a
player or an executive.
      Gores also says he expects a decision on coach John Kuester's
future soon.
      Gores takes over following a drawn-out sale by Davidson that
stretched back before the season. The team announced in April that
Gores had agreed to buy the Pistons.
