    I think the Bulls are better off without him, Kelly. Of course, they didn't set the precident well by signing Kirk to that massive deal.

  Trade him for Kirilenko (and whatever else it takes to make the math right)

I don’t see it getting better, so maybe it’ll be a better situation for me personally somewhere else.” “I’ve just got to wait and see what happens,” Gordon said. “It’s a tough time.” Source: ESPN.com The Miami Heat, New Orleans Hornets, and Phoenix Suns have all been ...

... year, he will definitely get paid. If not by the Bulls, then by someone else around the League. The main question still remains, are any teams in Europe or here willing to offer Gordon the type of money he is looking for? Will anyone dish out 10-13 mill a year for Gordon? I just don't see it happening, so right now Gordon's best bet is to definitely try to work out a sign and trade with someone in the League. Let's see how it pans out. GO BULLS!!! Thanks to ESPN for the quotes. ...

As USA finishes off Spain (119-82), in what wasn't as close a game as what we might have hoped, let's turn our attention to what else is going on in the world of basketball: Ben Gordon is done with the Chicago Bulls, apparently.

Ben Gordon says he’s done as a Bull
Published 8/16/2008 by admin at Bulls Home Blog
Contract negotiations between Ben Gordon and the Chicago Bulls appear to have come to a halt.“I guess it’s safe to say I’ve played my last game in a Bulls uniform,” Gordon said, reported ESPN . Ben Gordon was offered a 5 year, $50 million contact last off-season, and the Bulls recently signed Luol Deng to a 6 year deal worth $71 million.  Gordon believes he deserves to be the highest paid player, sighting having lead the team in scoring in three out of his four NBA seasons (including last year, 18.6 ppg). Gordon and his agent have been exploring other options.  Him and his ...

... I’ve never been a huge fan of Ben Gordon’s game, because of the whole I play better coming off the bench vs. starting thing, as I really feel a true scorer can put the ball in the hoop consistently regardless of any little psychological effects on their game. But when I read this ESPN article on Gordon’s latest comments that he has “played his last game in a Bulls uniform,” I had to sort of side with Gordon a bit. He has led the Bulls in scoring for the past three seasons. And regardless of the fact that the Bulls supremely ...

... the Wizards stroked Gilbert's ego and got him to take less money than necessary, the Bulls have taken the hard line on Gordon.  They aren't budging on their 6 year/59 million dollar offer, which I find somewhat interesting because while such a contract puts them up against the luxury tax, such considerations didn't stop them from dolling out large contracts for Andres Nocioni, Kirk Hinrich and Deng.  In response, Gordon has made some ridiculous public statements, saying he won't take the qualifying offer even though there's really no alternative. ...

Why ... you should take Ben Gordon with a grain of salt

... First, the particulars. Gordon is a restricted free agent, who has turned down a reported six-year, 59 million dollar deal because he believes that, as Chicago's leading scorer, he should be paid more than fellow fifth-year teammate Luol Deng. Deng got six years and 71 million. Rumors that Gordon wants to be paid more than anyone on the team (Larry Hughes makes 12.8 million next season) because of his leading scorer status have also been floated. On Friday, ESPN's Chris Broussard followed Gordon up to a charity bowling match (one crazy NBA summer!) and ...
