Charlie Villanueva Blasts KG

KG and Charlie Villanueva got technicals last night, but it hasn't stopped there...

Villanueva tweeted: "KG called me a cancer patient, I'm pissed because, u know how many people died from cancer, and he's tossing it like it's a joke ... I wouldn't even trip about that, but a cancer patient, I know way 2 many people who passed away from it, and I have a special place 4 those."

Before the game against Boston on Tuesday Villanueva tweeted: "KG talks a lot of crap, he's prob never been in a fight, I would love to get in a ring with him, I will expose him (ESPN)."

I bet KG says a lot of awful things on the court, so this really doesn't shock me at all. Is it over the line? Probably, but KG plays with fire and likes to get in guy's heads. Plus he is 100 times back then anything Charlie Villanueva will ever be, so if I was him I'd just let it go, or at least actually fight him instead of Twittering him to death.

Pistons Sign Gordon and Villanueva

"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.
