Ben Gordon on Being a Free Agent and the Chicago Bulls

[ChicagoMane1993]

@Loudmouf84 and by the way Ben Gordon had a good postseason but his regular season stats were no where net what he did in the playoffs, so maybe you should learn a little bit about basketball before you hop on the bulls bandwagon, I can't wait forth cubs or white sox to be really good just to see all these dumb BANDWAGONERS like you try to talk about players. Ha NOOB!

[ChicagoMane1993]

@Loudmouf84 your retarded if we resigned Gordon we'd be FUCKED! First of all we wudnt have the cap room to even sign boozer, or resign Joakim Noah, or Loul Deng, not to mention we wouldn't have half the players we have now, and to top it off rose gets a new contract next year so with gordons massive contract he wanted which dumbass detroit gave him we would have to choose rose, and Noah or rose and Deng! Pistons didn't think like that and look @ them they suck and r losing all they're players.

[Loudmouf84]

I meant Jerry Reinsdorf

[Has1b]

Pistons really did themselves good getting 2 crappy players for 10m a year each. I can understand why they did it at the time, but honestly Ben G and Charlie V are not good players at all, specially on this mess of a roster which has too many shooting guards and no real bigs

[Terrell8976]

Regardless of a weak year, he is a great shooter.

[SECTION324]

To bernie b 07 I have been a bulls fan since 1983 the reggie thiess orlando woolridge years when the bulls were bad. So you calling me a fair weather fan makes no sense whatsoever. Ben Gordon was never a go to guy and he just got paid go to money while averaging 13.8 ppg with a 41% fg and that just simply sucks. Like I said in a earlier post ben gordon was a poor mans vinny the microwave johnson a guy that can heat up in a hurry but can also cool off just as fast. Go Bulls!!!!!

[seizureman7]

@SECTION324

so he wasn't a go-to guy when he scored 20+ in 2 separate seasons in Chicago or even the one where he scored 19 a game? Guess Rose isn't a go-to guy either since he produces the same points as Gordon was doing for you. Rose's rookie year he scored under 17 a game with Ben giving almost 21.

Let's also not forget how Ben Gordon single-handedly kept the Bulls in games against the Celtics in the playoff.

It's easy to point at a year where a guy is hurt and criticize his performance.

[SECTION324]

@seizureman7 No he was not a go to guy and he will never be a go to guy. Also by you putting ben gordon in the same class as derrick rose shows me how much knowledge you truly have of the game of basketball. GO BULLS!!

[bernieb07]

I'm a Huge BULLS fan, but unlike the other "bulls fans" who are now saying they are glad he's gone,i say you are all full of shit, and just fairweather fans. ALL of you were riding his jock as BG7 singlehandedly took Boston to game 7, and now you sit here and hate on him. That's so typical of chicago fans, and it's not right. BG7, you never got the credit due you with the city and most of these ass hole "fans", but you get it with me. Good luck in the future , I know you'll be back strong.

[Sam111111]

@bernieb07 Seriously. I love BG. Fraternally. He's awesome. I hope he comes back from the ankle surgery stronger than ever and leads the Pistons into the playoffs, he had some really exciting moments.

... As long as they don't beat the Bulls, of course. :P

[SECTION324]

final stats for 09-10 13.8 points per game with a 41% fg not worth the money. The bulls finallly made a great move GO BULLS

[moali90]

man i wished we could have gotten rid of hinrich and signed gordon

[SECTION324]

@moali90 dont worry hinrich is next this offseason he will be gone

[SECTION324]

check that now ben gordon is averaging 13.1 ppg with a 41% fg and got paid 50 million dollars wow!

[SECTION324]

check that now ben gordon is averaging 13.1 ppg with a 41% fg and got paid 50 million dollars wow!

[SECTION324]

check that now ben gordon is averaging 13.1 ppg with a 41% fg and got paid 50 million dollars wow!

[bernika1001]

that is my cousin so you better not talk to him like that ok and you are the losers stop writing commets like that really you do not want to mess with him he can knock you out ok and plus he recived the key to the city ok did you so ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[batmanrocks245678]

i m a bulls and lakers fan ever since when magic johnson and michael jordan arrived i like already a fan

[SECTION324]

50 million dollars to average 15.7 points per game yeah not worth the money great move by the bulls. I just cannot understand how a player that averages 15.7 ppg is being payed over 50 million dollars what a joke.

[nnamdiekezie2]

@SECTION324 average 15.7 in the nba while playing hurt in an entirely new system then tell us how easy it was

[SECTION324]

excuses excuses i dont want to hear it this was the best move the bulls have made since trading will purdue to san antonio for dennis rodman back in 1995. Gordon is at best a poor mans vinny the microwave johnson when gordon is hot he's hot and when he's not oh boy its like 25% from the field not good and not worth 50 million dollars.

[KJStewart93]

chicago misses gordon

[SECTION324]

man this guy is lazy look at him what a joke. Im so glad the bulls did not give in to his salary demands. He is just simply not worth the money that he asked for enjoy playing in detroit loser

[gunyhighway2093]

Clearly you are not a bulls fan because if you were you know that ben Gordan was the hardest working Bull on the team. All of the coaches always say hes the first guy in the gym and the first guy at camp. to call him lazy because hes relaxing on a coach is just a immature statement.

[SECTION324]

First of all he is not relaxing on a coach its called a couch. And second of all when a player is interviewed he should look profesional at all times. Thank god the bulls did not give this joker 50 million dollars to average 15.7 ppg. With all the trades the bulls made a few days ago it puts them 22 million dollars under the salary cap for next year. Hopefully with all that salary cap space the bulls can land a top free agent that can average more than 15.7 point per game.

[SECTION324]

And clearly i am a bulls fan have been since i was seven years way back in 1983 The reggie theus and orlando woolridge years.

[bulls7123]

Bitter Bulls fans - STFU. (And I'm a Bulls fan, but not a bitter one).

[antiago56]

here we go again another rollar coaster season

[2pacbasketball]

im the biggest bulls in the world and i think the bulls shot themselves in the foot.wit the wizards, raptors, and i cant believe i saying there and the bobcats getting better the playoffs r far away and no star player wat 2 play for a team that doesnt make the playoffs

[kkaabbeeyyaa]

LOL BOBCATS

[Oa5i520]

ur da 2nd

[bballplaya27]

fuckk detroit

ben gordon is a beast and detroit wont be able to handle a talent like him

[leo22819]

fuck you!

[Arab204]

dddddddeeeeeetttttrrrrrrrrrrrr­ooooooooiiiiiittttttttttt bbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeengggggggoooo­oooooorrrrrrrrrrrddddddddeeeee­eeennnnnn

[moclucka]

on ething chicago fans need to realize tho... although ben gordon is a beast and i love him as a player... while he did score so many points he also allowed jus as many with his incredibly lazy defense.... ray allen is not the toughest player to guard u jus gotta chase him but ben didnt wana do that and thats the reason he beasted on the bulls... notice how the magic didnt let ray get any space and they beat em... truth is ben gordon is the reason they lost that series

[whoatommy]

truth is.... without Gordon, Celtics would've swept...lol

[dlxsfBRUH]

Without Hinrich the Celtics would have swept too.

[xia0411]

Yea the players who really stepped in the playoffs were Jokim Noah, Hinrich and Miller, Rose and Gordon were good but they both play that good in the reg season so no suprise I HATE RAJON RONDO HE IS a DIRTY RAT THAT NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING SO DIRTY!

[animefan8492]

Do you watch the NBA, or have any knowledge of the science of the game whatsofuckingever?

[raangz]

hahahahahahhaa bulls suck. and now ben gordon is with us!!!! DEEEEEE-TROOIITTT  BASSSSKKET-BALLLLL

[jhbullsfan1]

well, my favorite player..gone

[sorakeyblade123]

ben gordon 2004-2009

lets hope we get iverson

[savyest9kid]

fuck ben gorden

[wyntonmohorn]

Fuck Jerry Reinsdorf & Gar Foreman. They got rid of their leading scorer for what? The Bulls aren't gonna get any of those 2010 free agents. Sometimes you have to be thankful for who you have. Thanks Ben, it was fun while it lasted. These 2 fools just fucked everything up.

[SniperClipsX]

I couldn't have said it any better..

[wyntonmohorn]

Thank you. Finally somebody with a brain.

[thepod24]

Let's see...

the bulls gave 60 million for Ben wallace who gave us not a lot, they may havegiven Luol Deng 72 million, they THINK they're gonna get them "All Stars in 2010"

Dude, you are absolutley right, The bulls are so fucking cheap!! They won't offer more than 54 million to ther leading scorer!

[animefan8492]

Every bad team has a leading scorer.

[wyntonmohorn]

I know. The Bulls are cheap. Don't they know you gotta give in order to get something back.

[thepod24]

and they think once the 2010 free agency comes around, they'll get the best all stars, Who the hell would come to the bulls at this point? most all stars are getting old, and those who are still pretty young will go to those veteran teams. the bulls think that letting BG7 go will create cap space for 2010. total bullshit!!

[wyntonmohorn]

Exactly. As much as I love the Bulls, it's bye bye playoffs.

[bullrose5]

FUCK YOU BEN GORDON. And bullshit you loved Chicago. Everything you said was a lie.

[Hovo0123]

it was his last game as a bull....

[MrRogermaris]

i hate losing ben but does getting rid of him give us more money and save us more money and better chance at signing a big free agent next summer

[johncenarocks21]

detorit basketball

[Mayor720]

BG7 Is going to resign

Go BULLS!!!!

[godzilla1077]

Unfortunately, it seems that way.

[gangsta30x]

i really hope so man

[iam3ptnick]

no hes not

[bengoro7]

dont need kirk

[cubsfan104]

we dont need kirk are you serous?!! he's a great defender and every time he got a pass in the playoffs he made it he is great...

[hfcrevolver]

um?

[Mast3rShak3zilla]

he makes it sound like hes outtt !!!

whatever team he goes to (if CHI releases him)

will have a chauncey billups type effect...

not really like chaunceys but like halff

lol

[khaosparty]

ben, we'll miss you if you go. forever a bull in our hearts. thanks for the memories, really man. i'll never forget those 3 pointers in clutch time and how much it meant to me. you got us and pushed the team as far as you could. thanks.

[alvaro13gonzalez]

STFU HES NOT GOIN 2 READ THIS

[kosovascarface]

LMFAOOO

[cubsfan104]

i know man the clutch shots man omg vs the celtics it was like legendary..in a great way

[godzilla1077]

Now that Ben is headed to Detroit, the Bulls can concentrate on signing a free agent.

[AirDB23]

he ain´t a bull anymore??

where does he play now?

[nesquikistheshit]

get the fuck out

[BiggCBeBallin]

COME TO DETROIT

[mjdc2505]

Will the Pistons owner going to pay him $13 million a year?

[BiggCBeBallin]

dunno.....

maybe

[godzilla1077]

I hope so we dont need. Now only if we cant rid of Deng and his lousy contract.

[dietrich414]

the bulls are the eastern conference version of the trailblazers, yung, and very talented, rose noah and thomas r only goin to get better

WATCH OUT

[MarkyMan737]

joakim noah is a disgrace to the nba, and is only going to get worse you slimy fuck

[alvaro13gonzalez]

AGREE WITH U BROTHER

[MrKPhantom]

SIKEE!

[halnataku]

Man, Ben's meant more to this organization than anyone else for the last 5 years. We better find some way to clear some cap space for him.

[jessemos456]

god damn

[ziweiwu]

ben gordan is the best player

[tatshme]

he really isnt work more then it seems. like charles said all he does is bring instant offense and sometimes hes on or off. and hes lacking in defense...we need to have a bigger starting line up...derrick 1 kirk 2 salmons3...nowitzki4 noah 5

[theavataraboveall]

and gordon as the 6th man,,,i dont think kirk is a consistent scorer

[killavybz1]

i agree

[tatshme]

i would like bg to stay as long as hes fine and happy playing as a 6th man.......anddd with that we can still trade him.

[zbjordan23]

BG is leaving because of the waste known as the luol deng contract...thanks pax!!!

[jessemos456]

your right fuck!

[teeharristee]

Bulls need to trade deng

[Wrobelooo]

Ben Jordan ;) has to stay in Chicago ! His is an amazing player and he more deserve on 11$/year contract than Luol Deng. If he'll stay, BG will be the biggest icon of Chicago in start of 21 century

[trowabarton321]

Please dont put BG with THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! Michael Jordan in the same sentence i like BG and hes a great shooter but thats it he does nothing else, and to MJ its really an insult.

[geoshnas]

IMO Ben is the second best player on the Bulls,and the Best scorer on the Bulls.John salmons is a good 3rd option to score.

They need to resign the best scorer they have,D rose is not rdy to take over yet,and after Ben the Bulls Lack any 3 point shooter,other then Kirk and Salmons.

[gloryinmotion]

he didn't get the deal he wanted because he wasn't worth it

[defjaw]

I like the whole therapy thing going on here.

[rush1862]

I like Bg but his style of basketball does not suit this team. We need a big SG who can defend. Bg is way too selfish and he tries to play point too much. He cant dribble to save his life. i appreciate what he did for the Bulls but if we move Salmons to SG or aquire a bigger SG we should be fine.

Rose PG

Salmons-SG

Deng-SF

Ty Thomas-PF

Noah-C --(Bosh if we can get him we have two first round draft picks)

[MrJeckel]

firstly, bosh is not going to chicago regardless the raptors will have first round picks too and aint giving an all star away for anything the bulls have exc for their main player which aint gonna happen. and he aint a centre just to say. but on ben, i think he showed in the series that he is a great talent. he knows he needs to get better defensively but that will come with time. to say the least, if ben gordon is not on the bulls next year they dont make the playoffs or get swept simple.

[AlipioPilipino]

men chicago needs you men

[OTKP]

Pay the man Paxson and Jerry

I would be pissed if Gordon is in another uniform hitting big shots for another team next season while Deng is getting $11 Million to basically do what he did this past season which was...Well....NOTHING!

[dimedropper1992]

DON'T LEAVE BG!!!!! ur gonna miss out on a potential ring on your finger!!!
