F.A. SIGNING: Pistons strike deal with Ben Gordon

[Glenn]

GD - are you gonna take bets on who argues with kstat next? This could be the game of the off-season.

Nah, it's too easy to manipulate. All you would have to do is post something about Joe D or Tom Wilson having a pimple.

Oh mercy, what have I just done?

[Black Dynamite]

Doesn't really have shit to do with Wilson or Dumars Glin(though its more comfortable for the pegging types to simplify it down to that). Kstat fights whenever he's challenged period. It's a habit plenty of people here have, he just extremes it way too often.

He's also a very selective homer.

If he gets annual 10% increases, 5yr/55m is:
$9.2m
$10.1m
$11m
$11.9m
$12.8m

How do you justify having that coming off the bench?

Gotta trade Rip.

[Fool]

The does not need to justify anything to the subjects.

Shoot, forgot about that. I just remember the initial talk was $55m. Thanks. I guess the numbers I had for CV were off as well. I'm useless today.

Do you expect your role to be similar to the one you had in Chicago? Got any idea if you’re going to start or come off the bench?

BG: A lot of that comes from the coach. I learned that early. It’s going to be the coach’s decision at the end of the day. I’ve been on teams where I led the team on scoring, but I was coming off the bench. I’ve been on teams where I started. It’s just whatever makes the team better and the coach feels is more helpful for the team. In Detroit, what I’m expecting is to show my overall game a little bit more. Not just be somebody who can score, but also one who can make plays for his teammates and make them better. That’s something I’m looking forward to.

Him "knowing that he's coming off the bench" doesn't exactly sound as definitive as Langlois makes it sound.
