Plus the Bulls would have all of this summer and next season to juggle the line up some more or find a way to get rid of another contract.
And if Gordon can show and convince with his play that he helps the Bulls contend better, they could resign him to a much smaller and less expensive contract after this one expires.....The last few years have dramatically decresed his value, so I'm sure Ben would resign for a lot less money considering how horrible his luck has been as a nonBull............I think Ben is at that point in his career where he knows there not much time to get the prize.........After loosing in Detroit and Charlotte, I'm pretty sure he wants more than anything to win.........That explains his frusturations with the coach in Charlotte....Ben is hungry, and he wants some damed playing time........I don't blame him.....enough is enough and wherever Ben goes will be a hell of a lot better than Charlotte(the wasteland of the NBA)................In a better situation, ben will be like a lion let out of a cage....whatever team that will be will benifit from Bens hunger to win...........Why can't it be the bUlls?........its more possible than ever.......Get it done PaxGar......do it NOW!!!
Either way the Bulls save some money with Boozer off the books.....Even with Ben Gordons contract.....Financially better off than the Bulls are right now and a little bit closer to being under the cap.....baby steps
