Today the Detroit Pistons make the first big splash of the free agent period by inking two of, in many minds the top10 players avalible. 6'3" ShootingGuard Ben Gordon from the Chicago Bulls & 6'11" Foward Charlie Villanueva from the Milwaukee Bucks. Gordon signed a 5yr 55mil contract & Villanueva a 5yr 35mil.
Last season for the Bulls Gordon avg 20.7pts 3.4ast 3.5reb shot 45.5%fg 41.0%deep & 86.4%ft. He played in all 82games starting in 76 &played 36.6mpg. Last season for the Bucks Villanueva avg 16.2pts & 6.7reb. He shot 44.7%fg 34.5%deep & 83.8%ft in 78games played, he started 47. The two played together for a year in college at UCONN. Gordon is a 5yr vet at the age of 26. Villanueva is a 4yr vet and soon to be 25yrs old.
In my opinoin both together are great additions for the rebuilding Pistons. I first heard they where only pursuing Ben which made no since to me with them for sure loosing Wallace & McDyess to free agency. But adding Charlie now gives them a replacement to go along with Maxell and their frontcourt. They will probally also look more to trade Rip Hamilton (another former UCONN Huskie) now. Allen Iverson will also be out maybe reuniting with former coach Larry Brown in Charlotte. You never know just continue checking in with ya boy because you know I will have the breaking news for you.
