Re: The Ben Gordon appreciation thread
Just as many feel letting Ben go is in the team's best interest, I feel that our mistakes need to comeback and try to rip our jugular out then maybe the fans will get restless and angry at the owners for failure after failure to put a winning product on the floor. Similar or even the same premise that people have for wanting to tank to get a better pick...Ironically, I rarely support that, maybe thats because I'm wanting the Bulls to lose four particular games rather than as many games as possible regardless of context.
As for the rivalry, its been twenty years, its a dormant rivalry that was almost awakened till the bulls fell into purgatory for a year because once again the people who run this team showed their ineptitude to improve the team.
I'm a Bulls fan, after that I follow players, and Gordon has become one of my favorites, I don't need my loyalty to this crappy team questioned so piss off gents.

For some odd reason I have a hunch to adopt a dog now.

Who wants to predict that Gordon picks a part the Bulls next year and scores 40 at the UC?
We did the Pistons a favor by taking Wallace on an absurd contract, not the other way around.
Gordon though he may be being overpaid a tinge by the Pistons, it wasn't as overpaid as Wallace was by us.
Also, anyone else read that the deal with the Pistons for Gordon actually goes up to around 60 million? I'm thinking it's a 55 for 5 year deal, with 5 extra million of incentives.
Why so serious?

To be fair, since the incentives include being able to dribble the ball and growing 2 inches, they won't have to worry about that extra 5.

Really shouldn't have given Deng that contract.
