The Pistons started off the NBA free agency period by snapping up a pair of new players, former Bulls sharpshooter Ben Gordon and former Bucks Gollum lookalike Charlie Villanueva.
An unnamed source has placed the value of Gordon’s contract at more than $50 million, and Villanueva’s at around $35 million. Gordon is the real steal: he averaged 20 points last year for the playoff Bulls, and was an absolute mad bomber (and occasional jock-grabber) in the playoffs.
Hopefully, whoever becomes the new Pistons coach will have better luck integrating Gordon into the offense than the recently-fired Michael Curry had with Allen Iverson. Villanueva, meanwhile, figures to step in for Rasheed Wallace who will be barking at the refs somewhere other than Detroit next season.
