Comments on: Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva Is the Best Detroit Could Do? http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/ben-gordon-charlie-villanueva-detroit-signings/8109 Brown Bag it, Baby Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:51:17 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: SpinMax http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/ben-gordon-charlie-villanueva-detroit-signings/8109/comment-page-1#comment-642382 SpinMax Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:22:29 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/?p=8109#comment-642382 When Detroit signed Billups in 2002 he had been on 5 different teams in 5 years and people figured that was a mistake. People said Tayshaun was too skinny and awkward to make it in the NBA. People thought Joe was crazy to trade Stackhouse for Rip Ben Wallace had done little, who would want him? Why would anyone want a disruption like Rasheed on their team? So many of Joe's moves have been criticized and more often than not he's done well. Maybe those who complained about the Billups for AI trade will realize it was actually Billups for Gordon/Villa which is ok. Rip WILL be moved for abig man...okafor, chandler, kaman, maybe Bosh if we're lucky. Joe realized he wasn't going to get Wade or Lebron next year, so why try? Take what you can get which are 24yr old good players and move on. Despite Darko, Joe deserves the benefit of the doubt here. He is one of the best when it comes to seeing something in guys that others don't.

He will be missed in Chicago, kirk will not be able to man up and take big shots like BG. BG will excel in Detroit considering he nailed them on so many occasions. You must wait to see what happens. I hope the Bulls let him go in an attempt to get CB.... Ben Gordan is a clutch shooter true he is a gunner and doesn’t play defense but he was the Bulls top scorer for the past 5 seasons.
