Ben Gordon is listed at 6'3", but I seriously doubt he's any taller than 6'0". His defense also isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Of course he's not Bruce Bowen, but he improved under Scott Skiles and was passable on the defensive end (it was just hard to guard bigger backcourts when him and Hinrich were on the floor together).

BKS I watched a few bulls games on wgn last year. But it seemed to me that BG was kind of jealous of D-rose a bit. Idk maybe it was just me.

I was never high on Amir, I liked him and thought he could be something.. but he never got any PT and when he did he sucked.

I still want to see us move Amir for Sean Williams too.
Sean Williams is an idiot and looking more and more like a bust, I'd take Amir for him in a heartbeat.

Sean and Amir are on the same level talent wise. But Amir can handle not playing and only seeing spot minutes.

I personally think Rip is a better player, but BG will fit the system better. Should be interesting to see where Rip could be trated to

Ben Gordon denied rumors that his agent already has a deal in place with Detroit on Wednesday.

"You can't even negotiate until July 1, so that's just rumors," said Gordon. "I really don't know what's going to happen."

Gordon has had contentious negotiations with the Bulls over the past two years.

"Things didn't go my way but that didn't stop me from approaching my job the same way and loving the game of basketball. There are a lot of people in worse situations than me, so there's really no need to be stressed about it or have bad blood."
Could be just trying to save the Pistons from any "tampering" but maybe its good news. I honestly dont think Gordon is a 11mil type player maybe 7 or 8 at the very most.

I guess anything that keeps Rip here longer is good news.

I swear I'm going to cry if he leaves.

I'm sure they directly related......
Why would we trade Rip if we didn't have a replacement for him?
