The Detroit Pistons sign Ben Gordon
The Pistons have signed 26-year old shooting guard Ben Gordon to a 5-year, $50 million dollar contract. Gordon played in 82 games (76 starts) for the Bulls last season and he averaged 36.6 minutes, 20.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Look for the Pistons to be moving Richard Hamilton in a trade as he likely can’t co-exist with Gordon. Gordon has now played in 398 games (204 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 31.4 minutes, 18.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Gordon brings a great shooting touch to the Pistons as he has nailed 41.5% of his three point attempts in his NBA career to date. I like this signing for the Pistons.
