Pistons Add Wilcox to Funky Frontcourt

Found July 18, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Charlie Villanueva,  Drew Gooden,  Chris Wilcox
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  San Antonio Spurs,  New York Knicks

by Tom ZillerFiled under: Knicks, Pistons, NBA TransactionsDetroit has been rumored to be interested in a few power forwards to back up big free agent signing Charlie Villanueva, all odd ducks with some flavor of a wacky game. There was Big Baby Glen Davis, a thick shooter with a personality vacillating between child and swag. Or Drew Gooden, the ultraconfident post player with a million bizarre hair decisions.But according to ESPN's Chad Ford, the Pistons went with 26-year-old dunker Chris Wilcox, who spent last season between Oklahoma City and New York. Ford reports Detroit will pay Wilcox $6 million over two seasons, which tells me the Pistons don't really want to wait around on Eastern contention, despite the relatively young core of the team.Pistons Add Wilcox to Funky Frontcourt originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:43:00 EDT .
