<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Lindsey re-signsThe Pistons got their first commitment of the free agency period from Lindsey Hunter, who will sign a two-year deal worth about $4.5 million. He can't sign the deal until July 12.Oh, it gets better for Hunter.When his contract is up, Hunter will also be given a position within the organization, primarily assisting president of basketball operations, Joe Dumars."That's what makes this all really special, an opportunity to work with Joe when my playing days are over," Hunter said. "I'm looking forward to playing, but I'm also looking forward to what lies ahead for me when I'm done playing, too."Hunter said the Phoenix Suns showed a lot of interest, but his desire was to return to Detroit."This is where I wanted to be," Hunter said. "I wasn't real thrilled with the idea of moving my family, so this worked out great."In all likelihood, Hunter will be Chauncey Billups' backup at the point, with the third point guard possibly being rookie Will Blalock or second-yeard guard Alex Acker, who is a shooting guard who got most of his practice last season primarily at the point guard position.</div>from mlive.comGood for Hunter, he gets to stay with the Pistons and will get an opportunity to work with Dumars when his playing days are over.
Good. Lindsey is one of my favorites on the team. He plays harder than anyone else on the team and Allen Iverson has been quoted as saying that Hunter is the best man on man defender in the league.
2 More Years sounds good for Lindsey. He's still effective, and this will benefit Detroit, since Speedy is a Hawk.
If he finishes out his contract, that means he will have played 12 of his 15 seasons in Detroit. Not bad for the team's first-ever lottery pick.
