Joe Dumars is wasting no time courting free agents. UConn alums Ben Gordon and Charles Villanueva are in town today, visiting the practice facility and touring the area. They are believed to be at the top of Detroit's wish list. Gordon would give the Pistons a dynamite scorer and creator from the perimeter, while Villanueva would more than fill the inside-out scoring void left by aging free agent Rasheed Wallace.
Nothing new to report on the coaching search but my gut feeling is that Doug Collins is the natural choice. Dumars, who played for Collins, at least knows what's he getting if he brings back Collins - good and bad. And there's no doubt about Collins' coaching prowess.
