Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva sign with Pistons

   Charlie Villanueva          Ben Gordon

   Sources say that Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon and Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva have signed with the Detroit Pistons. Ben has signed a 5 year, $55 million contract, and Charlie to a 5 year, $40 million contract.

   But, of course, this can’t be confirmed until July 8. Until the NBA figures out their salary cap.

   Ben, who was taken third in the 2004 draft by Chicago, 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.

   Charlie, the seventh overall pick by Toronto in 2006 who has played the past three seasons with the Bucks, averaged 16.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season.

   Ben has turned down multiple $50 million the past 2 years.
