Ben Gordon with Spurs?

[EvaLongoria]

This guy won't be a Bull next year. I think he could be a GREAT wing for us. Great scorer and 3pts shooter too. The problem: 6'3, but he can back up Tony. So this is my idea:

PG: Tony/ Gordon
SG: Mason/Ginobili/Finley
SF: Bowen/Udoka
PF: Tim/Bonner
C: Oberto/Kurt/Mahinmi

[DynastyBuilder]

I hear Paul Pierce can be had for a 2nd rounder too.

[Dex]

All we need to do is add Dwight Howard, and we'll be okay.

[EvaLongoria]

dude, Ben Gordon acquisition is for real, and could be the offseason salvation. If i was FO, ill trade Finley, Mason, Hill, Tolliver, Vaughn, and cash consideration for: Ben Gordon and Nocioni. If not, Ben Gordon for Finley, Hill and cash consideration.

[DynastyBuilder]

Cash consideration for Dwayne Wade is still an option too though.

i dont think any of that works under the cba (not nearly enough salary going to chicago), nor would chicago be interested in either package. try again...

[baseline bum]

Fuck Gordon. We should trade for Derrick Rose instead.

i smell fail

It's a good thing you're not the FO, because you clearly have no idea how basketball, the CBA, or common sense work.

Gordon thinks he will be traded, also considers playing in Europe
By Chris Broussard
Updated: August 16, 2008, 12:22 AM ET

The slow, drawn-out negotiations between Ben Gordon and the Chicago Bulls took a turn toward closure Friday night when the free-agent guard said he doesn't think he'll be a Bull next season.

"I guess it's safe to say I've played my last game in a Bulls uniform," Gordon said.

Gordon, who has led the Bulls in scoring the past three seasons, said his agent, Raymond Brothers, has been speaking with other teams about sign-and-trade possibilities.

"I'm pretty optimistic it'll happen," said Gordon, who averaged 18.6 points last season. "It's very likely."

Brothers refused to name the teams he's spoken with, but added playing in Europe is also a possibility. He said the only certainty is Gordon will not sign the Bulls' one-year qualifying offer of $6.4 million.

Bulls Executive VP John Paxson did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Gordon admitted he's frustrated and "feels slighted" by the slow pace of negotiations with the Bulls. He said at this point it would be best for him to play elsewhere since Chicago's backcourt is seemingly full, with Derrick Rose, Larry Hughes and Kirk Hinrich.

"It's a numbers game," he said. "Last season at the trade deadline, they brought in more guards and I saw my minutes drop and didn't understand why. This year, the problem's still the same. I don't see it getting better, so maybe it'll be a better situation for me personally somewhere else."

Chicago offered Gordon a five-year, $50 million contract last season, but he turned it down. This summer, reports have surfaced saying Gordon believes he should be the Bulls' highest-paid player since he's their leading scorer. Chicago recently signed Luol Deng to a six-year, $71 million deal.

"I've just got to wait and see what happens," Gordon said. "It's a tough time."

Gordon spoke at the "Bowling Bash and Celebrity Fundraiser" thrown by his New Life Foundation in Yonkers, N.Y. The event was seeking to raise money for the sports department at Mount Vernon High School, Gordon's alma mater. The school, which has a vaunted basketball program that's produced several NBA players, is in danger of losing its winter and spring sports teams.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Elton Brand, Charlotte Bobcats forward Emeka Okafor, UConn coach Jim Calhoun, rappers Irv Gotti and Heavy D and former world boxing champion Iran Barkley were among the celebrities in attendance.

at least there are 71 million more reasons Gordon isn't going to be a Spur

[mrspurs]

nah keep gordon, look for a big or point now, gordon is neither

[AFBlue]

at least there are 71 million more reasons Gordon isn't going to be a Spur

Actually it would be $72M....he wants MORE than Deng (the all-star) remember.

No way in hell this happens.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf do we need gordan when parker does the same what he does, and dude doesnt play defense

[Darthkiller]

nah keep gordon, look for a big or point now, gordon is neither


hamed ehadadi anyone?

[xtremesteven33]

i hate threads like this.

"why do you build me up, build me up....."

[DynastyBuilder]

Actually it would be $72M....he wants MORE than Deng (the all-star) remember.

No way in hell this happens.

Correct, but the Spurs wouldn't pony up the 71, much less the 72 :toast

[mrspurs]

hamed ehadadi anyone?

no no....a big or point who will be able to contribute after this season is over. there are names out there, im just not one of those guys who takes the time to copy and paste etc.....heck thats about all i know how todo with a pc....there was no internet when i went to college :nope ,for that matter there was no internet for quite some yrs. after i graduated as well :lol

[ducks]

he would have to be traded with a player like manu or tp to be a spur
because he wants that type of money

[manufor3]

Cash consideration for Dwayne Wade is still an option too though.

dude, i love your avatar

[johnny_J_Jackson]

your an idiot Eva. Go cuss out a mexican cop.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Trading for Ben Gordon would be good for the team. Especially if we don't give up any meaningful players.

[wisnub]

Huahhaaha I think Dwight Howard is a good option. We can add Ben Gordon too. Fuck man, lets go for LEbron James :lmao

[wisnub]

your an idiot Eva. Go cuss out a mexican cop.

I prefer banging Eva instead. I mean Eva Longoria, not Eva smartass who want to get Ben though...

[edgar]

he would have to be traded with a player like manu or tp to be a spur

Trade Parker

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Trade Parker

That would suck incredibly.

[ducks]

Trading for Ben Gordon would be good for the team. Especially if we don't give up any meaningful players.

ben gordon wants 9 million a year
manu,tp , duncan are good
but are the only ones making that

bulls are not going to accept booner, oberta and a scrub for him

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

ben gordon wants 9 million a year
manu,tp , duncan are good
but are the only ones making that

bulls are not going to accept booner, oberta and a scrub for him

That's why we get a 3rd team involved.

[edgar]

That would suck incredibly.

i know, I just want to piss ducks off :lmao

[ducks]

i know, I just want to piss ducks off :lmao

so you could care less the spurs would suck if they did that
just so a internet poster would be ticked:rolleyes

that is worse then actually tipping well or not

[Dramon]

Honestly, I would rather see CP3 in a spurs jersey than Ben Gordon. Gordon might be a better wing player but with Chris Paul backing up Tony Parker I think we'd be a better team than we would even with Gordon as a starter. Another good alternative would be to possibly pickup Garnett to give Duncan a rest. Garnett has logged more minutes than Duncan in the NBA and is probably on the downside of his career but I think he would be a strong backup in the PF slot.

[JBIIRockets]

Ben Gordon is a undersized 2-guard. I don't think he would be a good fit on any contender and the Spurs are still that.

[DROB4EVER]

The guy is a sixth man who wants to be paid like a super star. He will regret turning down 10mil pr year to stay with the bulls.

[sehui]

christ this prob wont happen, if we couldnt get anyone cept godamn roger mason why do you think we can pull of Gordon?

[ALAMO_DEFENSE]

To the H-E-L-L with Gordon !!!!! CALM DOWN people, dont worry about our bench & roster. Think about this: LAST SEASON the only two things that won us were: 1) Manu's injured ankle and 2) David Stern BOS/LAL conspiracy (just remember Fisher no-call foul on the 3pts line over Barry!!! )

[BlackBellamy]

We should sign Jesus of Nazareth. He makes some miracle shots, but is lacking in assists as he quote: helps those who help themselves.

[spursnatic]

I don't see that happening, I would love to have him on our roster!! But he wants a shit-load of money, and that all goes to our Big 3. So that would be hard to make a trade of that sort. We would have to give up half of our roster to get him. Unless he would take a whole lot less to get a ring? But you see people say they will all the time, and the first time someone shows them that big money they're gone. To the Bobcats,Sonics,Hawks etc. WTF?:flag::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt2::flag:

Ben Gordon was an idiot to turn down 10 mill a year. The Bulls realized they we're overpaying and made the right choice. Go to Europe Ben.
