"The Detroit Pistons made the biggest early splash in free agency on Wednesday, agreeing to terms with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Former Bulls guard Gordon will receive a five-year deal for between $55 million and $60 million, while former Bucks forward Villanueva gets a five-year deal for $40 million, sources told ESPN.com's Chris Broussard (ESPN)."
Well this is the first big splash of the NBA free agency period. The Pistons become flat last season, and really tanked it at the end getting swept by the Cavaliers, so a shake up of the team was expected. The good news for the Pistons is that this could be just the beginning. They have over $25 million dollars in expiring contracts going into the 2010 offseason. That is big since it is anticipated that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will all be free agents then.
