The Bulls were eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday night by the Celtics, and questions about their offseason immediately began popping up.

Ben Gordon will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He wants to return to Chicago, but is looking for a lucrative, long-term deal.

"I know what I have here," Gordon said, according to the Associated Press. "I love all my teammates. I love this city. So I definitely, in an ideal world, I would like to be back here. That's the way I felt the last two summers and (a long-term contract) hasn't happened."

Gordon's coach and a number of teammates would love to see him return to Chicago.

"Absolutely," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Ben's been fantastic. Ben's a pro."

"I love playing with Ben," added Luol Deng.

Gordon wasn't able to secure a long-term deal as a restricted free agent last summer, and settled for the Bulls' $6.4 million tender offer.
