Villanueva will turn 25 this year and he averaged 16 and 7 in 27 minutes a game. What do you mean with the derrick coleman thing? On top of that, you get him for slightly more than the anticipated midlevel exception.
Gordon can score with anyone in the league. I think this could signal a move to trade hamilton or stuckey.

There are other players that will be available other than those three. While there is nothing wrong individually with Gordon or CV they are huge defensive liabilities and strange fits for a team without an identity. Trading Hamilton is not going to be easy with his contract, the trend of everyone cutting expenses and the needs of serious contenders. Derrick Coleman was a talented offensive player who routinely took weeks off of playing with any intensity. CV is a similar player. He is a good scoring big man but doesn't give you much other than that. For $40 million I would want a bit more especially with a team that has some issues in the frontcourt.
If they were signing with a team with a big star who is an undisputed top dog like Kobe or Lebron or a team with a strong head coach like Jackson or Sloan maybe I would feel like they had a chance to be more successful. But Detroit isnt not much better than they were last year with them and that isn't nearly good enough.
