Fred Zollner said attendance at Fort Wayne has fallen off this year and the switch to the Motor City “looked good.’’ If the Pistons go to Detroit, they will play their games in the Detroit Olympia. League president Maurice Podoloff said he hoped Zollner could go through with his shift because it would add another major population center to the NBA. Trade in a Good Town — Decatux
