All the pressure in the world is on Ben Gordon to prove his worth. But that's only if he cares to stick with the pistons. I'm guessing he stays his normal, half-assed self and will get amnestied this summer, get paid the rest that he is owed by the pistons and will sign elsewhere (he'd be a good fit on the lakers and heat). Fine. Good riddance. That money is better spent on a big which this team needs big-time.
I hate both stuckey and ben gordon but of the two we can only amnesty gordon this summer. Let's see what BG has and get rid of him once his excuses run out.
If he proves his worth and if stuckey proves that he's more than the shithead he really is then this is a good problem to have. I expect both to fail, the pistons to amnesty gordon and then us having to deal with stuckey for 2 more seasons.
Really the competition now becomes bynum vs. knight for the extra minutes. That's not a bad thing for a 20-year old in year one of his NBA career and playing potentially the most difficult position to learn in the league (pg vs. center). I fully expect knight to take the brunt of the minutes away from bynum by the end of the season.
