Keeping Hinrich/Gordon the correct decision.

Why are we doing this now? BG is gone. Two weeks ago people were cheering management for making room so we just had the possibility to sign James. Now we're back on Gordon. Lame...

I agree. Gordon's gone. A new era is upon us and Gordon is not a part of it.

Under that new cba, gordon would look like shit. i'm open to bringing hinrich back after his contract is over in 2 years. best damn bench player the newschool bulls ever had.

bg has a terrible contract.

He'd be the third highest paid player here till Noah and Rose got their extenstions. Then he'd probably be 5th. Good players make money.

i dont have a problem with bringing gordon back, just bring a 2 like salmons back too. we need a guy to guard wade and dribble.

Salmpns defense is emmensly better than BG's. I am surprised we haven't taled to bell, he is exactly what we need and will come cheap.

Let's not play the BG is gone card here. People can bring this up. Why?

People randomly brought up BG when LBJ leaving Cleveland became a possibility. It was brought up in the form of "I told you so, letting BG go was a good move because we have a chance at LBJ." Well that chance fell flat on its face.

So let's not criticize the guys who are now saying "I told you so, letting BG go was a bad move because the big free agency plan was a failure."

The Bulls got Boozer, and that's a good thing. But the Bulls didn't do all this maneuvering for Carlos Boozer. They could of had Carlos Boozer last year. they did it for James or Wade, and it didn't work.

So if guys can come out and say I told you so when James to Bulls rumors were rampant, guys can come out and say I told you so, we should have kept BG because Wade and LBJ were long shots.

Hindsight is 20/20 isn't is?

but i dont think the pistons really want to let gordon go, and i'm happy with bell if we get a shooter behind him. bell sucks at scoring, and we really need some to score the damn ball right now. deng is a defensive sf that will get you 12-15 pts. noah is a defensive center. boozer will get us 15-20, rose will get 20, but eh if we had one more offensive threat on this team, we'd be golden. i'd like our chances against miami, the hawks, and orlando.

As I was saying a couple of weeks ago, I'm cool with that. My position all along was that we'd probably not get them, but you have to take a stab at it. I can't think of anything worse than reaching this point and wondering "Wow, maybe these guys would have come to the Bulls if we had space".

So I'll cop the "I told you so" on keeping BG, but I'd still do what we did over again knowing what we did at the time. Of course, knowing that these guys rigged it two years ago, keeping BG looks more attractive.

I still say letting Gordon and Hinrich go to get this opportunity was worth it. Gordon played like crap last year, Lebron was the best player in the league. What else is there to talk about. Half the league tried to get Lebron, the whole league wants him. Gordon isn't a tenth of the player Lebron is, so what is the fuss???

If people are going to say that the Bulls should keep Gordon and be mediocre forever, dont accuse Reinsdorf of not wanting to win which is unbelievably stupid. It is obscenely hypocritical. You take the chance. The Bulls did a tremendous job of going after these players and I applaud them. Saying that they made the wrong move in getting rid of far less important overpaid players is ludicrous...

I really don't see how we couldn't have taken the shot. Its not like the bulls knew before that the ambiguously *** trio was heading to south beach.
