Free agent guard and former Cavalier Ronard “Flip” Murray has signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Detroit Pistons. Murray proved to be a huge pickup by the Cavs midway through the 2005-06 season. He adequately filled the void of Larry Hughes for the second half of the season but with the recent draft pick of Shannon Brown, Murray became expendable by Cleveland.
The team (Detroit) had been looking for a combo guard who could penetrate to the basket and produce instant offense off the bench and Murray appears to be a perfect fit.
