Pistons land Gordon and Villanueva

Recommended Posts

Didn't see it posted it on here yet but multiple sources are reporting that the Detroit Pistons have reeled in both Ben Gordon from the Bulls and Charlie Villanueva from the Bucks. This just adds to the major off-season moves by Detroit as I'm sure we all remember they just terminated 1-year coach Michael Curry a couple days back.

With A.I. gone, and the addition of these two guys, Pistons are looking like a pretty solid squad next year. Should at least certainly do better than last season.

    • I think we have high hopes for Etienne this year. They were pretty diliberate drafting him last year and were purposeful bringing him along slowly. Especially with two solid vets in front of him in '25. 
    • Icky will be fortunate to come back to play RT or Guard. Very slim chance of him being able to handle LT. And as you mentioned he was more of a RT anyway.  That injury he has is nasty.  We will be in the best spot to determine what he is capable of after rehab.  
    • I would venture that this is the most probable path for us to explore. I would wonder: A - Would Icky be open to it and the potential money lost annually for being paid as a RT vs. LT? B - Would the transition to RT be as seamless as we hope it would be? Icky's playing style always made me wonder how he stayed at LT for so long in his career. His strong suit is run blocking and Freeling's is pass blocking. As long as we don't sacrifice the new guy to appease a vet that had only one truly good year at LT and a few mediocre-at-best, I'm fine with whatever we do.
