[Big Bid'Ness]

Well he is the captain of the team now so i doubt he will be benched lol.

Need to give the reigns to GMoe.

Only way that is happening is when Prince leaves lol.

 

[Pugz]

tay only got that because his tenure on the team. lord knows he doesnt deserve it. hes already said he doesnt like being a mentor to the young players.

 

[RipCity32]

Not gonna happen sadly. :/

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

And most likely Rodney Stuckey is next in line for team captain, hell he might be co captain now.

 

[Pugz]

its voted on by the team so tay should just give it up. like i said hes already said he doesnt like being a mentor like a vet should be.

Yea usually they vote a vet in and sadly stuckey is the closet thing lol.

Just when you thought he couldn't get any more depressed.

It's not as if he left paradise lol

It's not as if he left paradise lol

What I meant was ever since he left the Bulls he's seemed depressed. LOL

When the Bulls traveled to Detroit last year or the year before the announcers did an interview with Gordon and you could tell he missed playing for Chicago.

 

[Pugz]

he never had a happy tone. i get what youre saying.

Bottom line, BG is happy. Chicago had a chance to make him happy, and they blew it. And for those idiot Bulls fans that think that BG was overpaid, keep saying that when he's torching Hinrich and the Bulls with threes, and tear drops. Keep saying that when they have to double team him because they can't stop him while he's dishin' dimes to Rip and Tayshaun and Charlie. Put your hands over your eyes and keep telling yourself, "he's overpaid, he's overpaid" while he's killing the Bulls this year. It'll make you feel better. NOT!!

I found this little gem in the comments section of an old hoopshype article. lol

Also, I'm pretty sure the Bulls offered him an extension two years in a row (5/50 the first year, 5/54 the second) and he refused both times because the Bulls offered Deng a larger extension.

He chose Detroit over Chicago, I'm not sure why he would miss playing for the Bulls if that were the case.

Ding Ding... He went from a team on the rise playing for the Bulls to a bad Pistons team.

And like you said, the Bulls did offer him a couple extensions, so I'm thinking he regretted not taking those, so he could stay within a winning organization.

 

[Pugz]

but how would they have handled noah and boozer? would you guys even have boozer?

 

[RipCity32]

Enough about Gordon. He's Charlotte's problem now

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They'd probably still have Boozer but wouldn't have had the cap room for Korver/Redick offersheet/Brewer/etc
