Gordon Agrees with Bulls
This may be uncertain that Ben Gordon where exactly fits in Chicago but he is relieved to be a Bull right now. After months of back-and-forth negotiating and rumors, ranging from the possibility of a sign-and-trade or even playing overseas, Gordon accepted Chicago’s one-year qualifying offer. The Bulls’ leading scorer the last three seasons, Gordon will become an unrestricted free agent following the 2008-09 campaign.
When the Bulls selected highly touted rookie Derrick Rose first overall in the 2008 NBA Draft, it seemed unlikely Gordon would remain with the team. The franchise already had a few backcourt studs under contract, including Kirk Hinrich and Larry Hughes, and they knew they had to re-sign free agent Luol Deng over the summer. But, with so many mysteries with the team after last year’s disappointing season, it was probably a wise decision for both the Bulls and Gordon to come to terms.
Possibly Gordon, who averaged 18.6 points in 2007-08, will likely compete with Hughes and Hinrich for the starting two guard position.
