Ben Gordon is signing a five-year deal worth $55 million dollars to play for the hated Detroit Pistons. I'm a little saddened by this. Gordon's not a superstar, or even an All-Star. He can't play defense to save his life, and he's not much of a passer. But what he's good at he's great at, and that's scoring. ...

Ben Gordon is moving to Detroit, and you just know he's going to explode for 40 points the next time the Bulls play the Pistons. And when he does, many angry Bulls fans will complain that he never should have been allowed to leave. How could John Paxson and Gar Forman let that happen?

Joe Dumars did not wait long to make a splash during the free agency period. The Pistons GM’s busy summer continued last night, as he got Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon to agree to make the move to Motown.
Gordon finally found someone with deep enough pockets to give him the money he thinks he deserves, and let’s just say that he will not be shedding...

I'd love to write about the Pistons, but last night I banged my head repeatedly against the wall after I heard about the Ben Gordon/Charlie Villanueva that I'm not thinking straight.I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that Joe Dumars has no clue what he's doing with this Pistons team.Less than a year ago, the man re-signs Rip Hamilton only to try and package him months...

It’s basically set in stone now.
