This is probably a stupid on my part...
And it’s definitely a pretty big leap, but I wonder if this has anything to do with the rumor that Ilitch would be interested in buying the Pistons if they are indeed for sale.
Illitch's son shot that rumor down publicly
But he might have a change of heart.
I think Wilson got out because Bill Davidson no longer owns the franchise, and figured the time was right.

Illitch said
that he’s more interested in building the new arena for the Wings, and that he’s not really a basketball fan. I don’t think he’ll go back on that, hopefully we can find someone else to keep them in the D

sounds like Illitch wants him to be a part of the new stadium talks for the Wings.

I should also add
That this has been denied by Illitch’s camp (for the time being)

the headline says "denies"
but the actual story says “would not comment”
wings better get their own arena
sharing arenas is a bad thing, leasing sucks too, you have to build your own and own it.
Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.
