Detroit Pistons Sign Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva

The Detroit Pistons got the NBA’s free agency period started by signing former UConn ballers Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Detroit takes Ben Gordon away from the Bulls with a five-year $55 million deal, and CV31 left Milwaukee for either $35 or $40 million over five years.

The Pistons need a coach after firing Michael Curry and I’m wondering who’ll they land. Even with the Gordon and Villanueva signings the team isn’t good enough to win a championship, so they have to find a coach that’s content to run in place for a few seasons before being blamed and fired.
