Ben Gordon denied rumors that his agent already has a deal in place with Detroit on Wednesday.

"You can't even negotiate until July 1, so that's just rumors," said Gordon. "I really don't know what's going to happen."

Gordon has had contentious negotiations with the Bulls over the past two years.

"Things didn't go my way but that didn't stop me from approaching my job the same way and loving the game of basketball. There are a lot of people in worse situations than me, so there's really no need to be stressed about it or have bad blood."
