The Chauncey signing is what this reminds me of the most (with a few years for inflation). Ben is coming off a great playoff performance, is considered a SG in a PG body, etc. A typical Dumars signing that could pay off big.

you'd love him when he catches fire, and absolutely hate him what he doesn't ditto with his defense. but overall he's one mean little man. like basketball's Manny Pacquao. the dude can pack a punch.

As a Bulls fan, I am very depressed right now. I loved BG, and think you guys got yourselves an awesome player (overspent a little, 5/50 sounds right, but I would've offered him 55 if I was in the Bulls brass). He can make any shot, and when the game is on the line, he's one of the most exciting and clutchest guys in the league. He's the Bulls all time leader in 3 pointers made, top 10 all time in the league for 3 pt shooting %, and he's done it with guys hanging all over him. Unlimited range.
I don't know how to feel, I love BG, but I'm suppose hate the Pistons.

Will Avery Johnson be a good coach for Gordon? Could Gordon be the Jason Terry of the Avery Johnson offense? Why can't Gordon play pg? Lack of handles? Decision-making? Doesn't like it? How did Gordon respond to playing for Skiles?

From what I've seen posted on here it's lack of handles and poor passing vision.

Sham was saying that he literally, "Can't pass."

I don't agree that he "can't pass", but that's just me.
I made this Ben Gordon mix a few years ago.

I still remember the game against OKC, which the Bulls lost in overtime.
In regulation, Bulls had a 2 on 1. The defender covered Gordon - but Gordon would not pass to an open Derrick Rose. Instead, Gordon ran into the defender & got called for an offensive foul.
Ben does not often pass it once he has it..... even when a teammate is totally open.
