It hasn't taken new Pistons coach/president Stan Van Gundy long to show that he's not a shrinking violet.
ESPN reports that Van Gundy offered up some advice to Quicken Loans Dan Gilbert, who owns the Cleveland Cavaliers: Worry about your own team.
Van Gundy's remark was in response to Gilbert's comment that the Pistons remove "Detroit" from its name because they play in Auburn Hills.
"Dan Gilbert has some selfish interests for saying what he said," Van Gundy said on 105.1 FM in Detroit, according to ESPN. "I think we know what those are. Finally I think he has enough to worry about with his own team than worrying about us."
ESPN noted that Van Gundy's remarks about "selfish interests" may be in reference to Gilbert's financial stake in downtown Detroit.
The Detroit News reported that Gilbert has spoken to Pistons owner Tom Gores four or five times at the owners meetings about moving downtown.
Gilbert had commented on "Mojo in The Morning" on 95.5 FM :
"Detroit doesn't have an NBA team, because they're somewhere 30 miles north of here, right? They're in Auburn Hills, right?" -- Allan Lengel
