Ben Gordon And Charlie Villanueva Teammates Once Again
Even though you cannot officially announce signing anyone until July 8th the Detroit Pistons have reeled in two top players in Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Former Bulls guard Gordon will receive a five-year deal for between $55 million and $60 million, while former Bucks forward Villanueva gets a five-year deal for $40 million, pretty good money if you ask me.
The Bulls did offer Gordon good money to stay, but he decided that he wanted to leave and the Pistons offer was for a little bit more money. As far as Villanueva the Bucks were going to let him go anyway so it really is not a big loss for them as they expected him to go. No matter what this makes the Detroit Pistons much better and it makes you wonder if Richard “Rip” Hamilton days are numbered in Detroit.
