Detroit’s Ben Gordon should be the Pistons’ starting shooting guard. Despite leading the team in scoring the past 8 seasons, it’s time for incumbent starter Richard “Rip” Hamilton to go to the bench. But why? From a purely statistical viewpoint Gordon is a better player. On the season he’s averaging 17 ppg, 2.4 [...] The Detroit Pistons kicked off the NBA free agency frenzy with two pretty big signings. Former Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon committed to a five year, $55 million deal, and former Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva agreed to a five year, $35 million deal. Gordon and Villanueava are both nice players and they are [...] The Detroit Pistons have agreed to terms with a player for the second time this off-season. This time it was Charlie Villanueva, who agreed to a five year, $35 million deal. Villanueva is the second Connecticut Huskie that the Pistons have signed today, with Ben Gordon being the other.

According to reports, the Boston Celtics offered Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen to the Detroit Pistons for Rodney Stuckey, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. Some initial reactions were negative, which [...] Previous Pick (No.26): Darren Collison, Point Guard, UCLA. A quick point guard that can shoot extremely well from deep.
