  • In 1948, the team was renamed Fort Wayne Pistons and joined the Basketball Association of America (BAA), which merged with the NBL to become the NBA a year later. - there needs to be a transition before "Fort Wayne" like "as the Fort Wayne" or "to the Fort Wayne." In addition, where is the wikilink to the NBA-NBL merger?
  • After spending 9 seasons in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Zollner moved the team to Detroit, Michigan in 1957 in order to compete financially with other big city teams. - 9 should be spelled out, it is a common number.
  • Table and the rest of the prose checks out fine.--SRX 14:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Done all. Article for the BAA-NBL merger or NBA-NBL merger doesn't exist.—Chris! ct 19:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Curly Armstrong, Red Rocha, Dick McGuire, Dave DeBusschere, Donnie Butcher, Terry Dischinger, Earl Lloyd, Scott and Michael Curry formerly played for the team." couldn't this be shortened into "Nine of the Pistons coaches formerly played for the team."?
No, "Nine of the Pistons coaches" is too vague. Reader don't know who they are. Everything else is done.—Chris! ct 20:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
