But face facts: It's what is going to happen. If Rip moves, Gordon is their primary player, like it or not. It's what he's paid to do, and the team is going to give him every opportunity to try and flourish in that role. @PCB:

Rodney Stuckey should be moved to the starting two, T-Mac should be moved to the starting point, and Ben Gordon should come off the bench or preferably, be traded. Murphy and CV are similar players, though Murphy is a better rebounder. Both are poor defenders and neither fits the bill for an athletic defender who can also score in the post to play alongside Monroe going forward.  First, let me say that giving Ben Gordon increased minutes at the two guard if Rip departs IS NOT THE ANSWER!

Murphy is a much better rebounder and player (if healthy) than Villanueva, but I hate the thought of having both in a frontcourt rotation. They're both really bad defensively, and how many stretch fours can you really have room for on offense, especially considering the traditional offensive system the Pistons run? @brgulker:

While he's struggled after injury in New Jersey, he was very good in Indiana the two years prior. If he returns to form in Detroit, wouldn't he make sense here on a reasonable contract?   Sure, he's not a Center, I understand that, but it's not as if Detroit will be the only bidder for the list above -- and we wouldn't hold the Bird's rights for any of those guys.
