BEN GORDON has yet to show people his worth, scott skiles wouldnt allow it.. I can tell you this Ben is the player that if they get rid of him he will haunt them for years to come, especially in the east!! No shooter can get a rythum the way skiles used him thats where the up and down performances come in. SEND HIM TO NEW YORK we’ll take’em and kick the bulls @ss in the play offs 4 years to come!!!!

I concur- Hinrich is overpaid but his contract is frontloaded as i recall and he is a good defender which is the basis of that team. he just needs to stop shooting.

i dont know why all the hate on Hinrich…id rather have him than Gordon. Hinrich can play the 2 (other than last yr, he’s a decent shooter), he can play the point, he can play DEFENSE (he’s been guarding the premier 2s in the league…and no, im not saying hes the best defender but he does do an admirable job, night-in and night-out)

Personally I wouldn’t have resigned Deng for that money and I certainly wouldn’t sign Gordon for that either. But hey what do I know?

When Ben is on, he is one of the best scorers in the league. Too bad he is hot maybe 50% of the time. He doesn’t deserve that kind of money because he is too one-dimensional. I was excited when the Bulls got him out of UConn, but now I wouldn’t care if they got rid of him

David,

hahaha dude. Nightmare!

Anyone who says Gordon > Deng is an idiot and yeah I’m calling you out! Gordon would get 7mil per MAX from me and here’s why:

Cant defend
Can’t rebound
Doesn’t pass
Streaky
SG isnt an important position unless you’re all-world

Beyond that, Gordon is an idiot or a liar. He comes out and says ‘i want to stay with the bulls’ and then ‘i’ll stay if they pay me what im worth, which is as much as deng’

so either he’s an idiot because he think he actually is worth Deng money and thus doesnt understand his strengths and weaknesses and how that fits into a winning team, OR he knows full well he shouldnt get Deng money and knows a s+t is the future.

Gordon, you’re from England so I like you dude but check your balls and get a reality check.

See ya Benny boy! Ain’t no way I’m payin him what he supposedly wants if I’m Pax. Which means, he’ll prob do it. Wouldn’t be the first time he’s overpaid a Ben now, would it?

WHY the HATE on KIRK HINRICH!!! He can play he is the best player ont he bulls team, the team who gets him WILL be ecstatic because he won’t play like he did last season. He is one of the better PG’s for the future along with Paul and Williams (though not nearly as good as those two) he pressured the ball stupendously in the Olympics gave D. Wade hell, and he can shoot it, and he creates opportunities. Get it together guys the guy can PLAY!

As for Ben Gordon BOOOOO…U aint making 12 million nowhere on this earth eat shit, and watch some Better basketball videos and learn how to play defense. You’re PG skills are non existant, and I am a fan. Get your shit together Ben take the 8 million and be happy. You’re really not that Ill.
