AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) – Richard Hamilton will be with the Detroit Pistons for a while.

The Pistons said Tuesday they re-signed the restricted free agent guard to a seven-year, $62 million contract that was agreed upon last month.

“I wanted to be here and they wanted me here,” Hamilton, 25, said. “The big thing was feeling like a family here, feeling wanted. It feels like home.”

Hamilton led the Pistons by averaging 22.5 points during their postseason run to the Eastern Conference finals. He led Detroit with a 19.7 average during the regular season and averaged 3.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Hamilton has averaged 16.7 points in four seasons.
