	The Pistons have reached a deal in principle with Ben Gordon, a source with knowledge of talks tells Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is believed to be worth $55 million over five years. RealGM Note: Gordon was ranked 48th in season FIC during the 2008-09 season and 'deserved' a salary of $11.24 million. He played under the qualifying offer after being unable to reach an agreement with Chicago.

That contract is just terrible.

Do your thing Gentle Ben.

They've signed Charlie V also.

I know Pistons fams love Joe D...but man, that guy has destroyed that franchise the past few seasons.

Ben and Charlie = years and years of 42 win type seasons, battling out for 8th seed etc. One night hot, the next two cold.

Welcome to years of medicority Pistons fans.

Uhhh Ben Gordon is not worth that much. Free Agents are the way to go as a NBA player...You get 2x what you are worth...Literally.

I'm bummed that gordon is gone. His clutch abilities are amazing. Hopefully the bulls can find someone that can make up for that.

Yeah but at the same time he'll lose a game for you. Too many negatives and too much money, I'll miss him but in a way I'm happy he is gone because that is too much committed money.

As far as Detroit, not sure why they want him. Flooded with guards but yet no solid PG and no bigs.

I'm officially questioning Joe D's judgement.

Finally

Jokes aside...terrible move.

You now have a front line of:
Kwayme Brown
Maxwell
Charlie V

And a backcourt of three guys who all like to take their own shot and no real PG.

If it wasn't Joe D who made those moves...let's pretend for a moment that it was another GM without Pistons blood...you guys would be up in arms and demanding his head.

But beacuse it's Joe D...Pistons fans have turned a blind eye to several years worth of terrible moves.
