Can Detroit be the first team to go from one of the best defensive teams to one of the worse? BG and CV would run Rip outta town with their shooting.

Don't be a smart %%% GUNNA, you know damn well this guy hurt the Bulls a lot more than he helped. It's very apparent anyone defendingGordon didn't watch Bulls games. No the Celtics series doesn't count eitherOriginally Posted by GUNNA GET IT

Im just sayin losing someone who avgs 20, shooots 45% and 40+ from 3 is MAJOR.
Oh its definitely going to expose who has ONIONS and who doesn't. But its soooooooooooo necessary for the future of this franchise
That's what I was thinking. Bulls would not have put up much of a fight against the Celtics without BG's clutch shots.Originally Posted by yungmatt
Everyone whos saying Good riddance Ben will eat those words next season when theres no one that even has the heart to take a last second shot
and Derrick Rose beat out OJ Mayo's bum +%@ for the ROY award

Div1LBC, you're just they type of casual viewer of the Bulls I was referring to. The Bulls are going to be better off w/o Gordon.

Cake got it exactly right. The offense became so stagnated everytime he touched the ball. The Ben/AI comparisons are really true in thisrespect--they need the ball/shot attempts to be effective. Problem is, Ben's no where near as effective/talented as AI so this does not work at all. Idon't think anybody thinks/wants Ben Gordon to be dominating the ball more than D-Rose.
But I think this is also significant in terms of contracts. The Bulls are already stuck with Luol Deng's putrid contract for the next 324324 years which isvirtually untradeable the way Lu has been playing the past season or two. You know Rose is going to get a max deal in a few years. Had we signed Ben to a 10-11mil/year deal, we would have three guys making over 10 million with two of them (Gordon/Deng) being 3rd options at best in my opinion. Not to mention if wesomehow land Bosh or another 2010 guy...our cap space would be toast for the next 5 years.
I think we'll be worse next year, but this the correct long-term move in terms of player/team development as well as financially. No 6th man in this leagueis worth 10-11 million a year.
