ESPN.com news services

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, $55 million deal, sources told ESPN.com's Chris Broussard. He rejected deals from Chicago in excess of $50 million each of the past two seasons.
The Associated Press reported that the Pistons signed former Bucks forward Villanueva.
Free agents can't officially sign with new teams until July 8.
Gordon led the Bulls in scoring each of the past four seasons. He averaged 20.4 points per game on 45.5 percent shooting last year. For his career, he has a 21.3 points per game average.
Villanueva, the seventh overall pick by Toronto in 2006 who has played all three of his NBA season with the Bucks, also agreed to a five-year deal. His contract is worth at least $35 million, according to the AP.
