What would be even better if Rose and Gordon in some historic shootouts, with Rose hitting the game winner.
Although that is unlikely, since Rose is like 0-13 on game winners in his career, and the last two times we beat the Pistons they were on Gordon game winners....but we can dream!

Honestly New Skool, Everything I have read from you these last few days makes me think you are one of the biggest homers alive! I am a huge BG fan and I will watch him on the Pistons. I think its a joke the indifference some of you guys are showing to this move. Enjoy it when we suck.
I love the Bulls, loved BG as a Bull. Happy Bulls didnt give into his insane money demands.
You can mail them to me a true BG fan. I might have to break my rule and buy a BG jersey when they go on clearance. I still have the $3 ben wallace detroit jersey i picked up after we got him.??? ?????? wrote:

Interesting news from Sam Smith as he said Gordon didn't even give Bulls chance to match the offer
My bad. Pretty funny that Pistons are getting another crappy coach though. Doug Collins pulled out of the running
Sam Smith said some crappy assistant will get the job
Sam Smith said some crappy assistant will get the job
Damn, I will probably pick one up off ebay, I wouldn't want the bulls to make anything off of it anyway.TheStig wrote:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Bulls.com is sold out of Ben Gordon jerseys. They did a good job of clearing those out before kicking him out of town. NBA.com is still selling them, but given that they're asking for $35 for a Ben Wallace swingman still, I doubt the Gordon sale will be all that good.
I don't see how 5/55 is insane. There are only 16 players in the league that score more ppg and two of them make less and were signed to extensions before they got that good. Harris and West would command much more on the open market.

BG was 24th in PPG last year.
Of the guys ahead of him in scoring, only Steven Jackson had a worse PER. Of the top 50 in scoring, Gordon's PER has him ranked 38th. In other words, looking at his scoring and comparing guys is going to over rate him.
I wouldn't describe 5/55 as insane, but it is more than I thought we should pay.
