Don't throw out that Ben Gordon jersey

[Rush]

So the Detroit Pistons are looking to dump Richard Hamilton and are rumored considering dumping the 8th overall pick to save 20 million or so in cash. The Bulls don't have a trade exception to save all that money for...

Holy shit. I think I would do that deal.

I don't think it makes them better than Miami but it makes the Bulls somewhat better.

Thibs would blow his brains out trying to get Gordon to play defense.

I'm not sure why Detroit would pull that deal.

Exactly. No idea why they'd give up the #8 pick and Gordon in this deal for pretty much Korver and our garbage.

Me thinks someone was just fucking around on the ESPN trade machine trying to line up contracts.

This is why I don't like Doug, anyone of us has access to the NBA trade machine on ESPN's website. Anyone on here can do what he does. Not sure why he's held in such high regard.

In regards to Gordon playing defense, I think as long as he is willing, he'd play enough defense. Korver is willing, but is not athletic.

Thibbs doesn't need more headaches. He already has ulcers from watching Boozer play Defense

Id love to have B.G back on our team...When our team goes cold every fourth quarter, BG can come in the game and light em up....Detroit can have Bogans..LoL

No more than he has already with Korver and Boozer's defense. This is a pipe dream, I don't see Dumars moving that far down in the draft...they just might want that Charlotte pick...

Yeah, that's the only issue. What makes this somewhat plausible is that Ben Gordon doesn't have much value on the market because of his contract. I think the Bulls will pull something off this summer, but I don't know what...

Do you still have your Ben Gordon jersey's, Hou?

 

[97Bulls]

I personally don't want gordon back. We need a starter that can play defense and has size. As well as scorer. Gordon wasn't really all that good at creating his own shot. He got better but I don't want another 6'3 scorer on the team. Now if he was gonna be a sixth man cool. Id rather have him over korver.

Never had one...lol. Had a one man parade when he left. You can go back through the archives and see me getting cussed out when he left. I still think those people acted like idiots...over Gordon...it was sad...

Chicagonow.com or whatever is a pretty garbage site from what I've read on it in the past. I haven't seen much on there actually come to fruition.
