Bulls Were Only Going To Offer Gordon $6-7 Million?

There was an interesting piece of information in Mike McGraw’s latest column, and that was that the Bulls were looking to lock Ben Gordon up for $6-7 million. Chances are, the Bulls would have tried to lock up Gordon for $6 million-$7 million per season, then made other moves to get below the luxury tax. This would [...]

Free Agent SG Analysis

With Ben Gordon set to join Detroit, the Chicago Bulls look set to hand the starting shooting guard spot to John Salmons, with Kirk Hinrich being asked to provide backup for both him and point guard Derrick Rose.

What does Ben Gordon’s departure mean for Derrick Rose?

Kevin Arnovitz of TrueHoop examines how Ben Gordon’s absence will affect Derrick Rose. Rose stands to improve his numbers — that’s usually what happens with a talent as impressive as Rose.

According to Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski and his NBA Twitter, the Chicago Bulls have met with one of their former players, shooting guard Jannero Pargo, who spent last season playing overseas. Pargo would provide decent scoring off the bench, and he did reasonable well for the Bulls in his first stint from 2003 to 2006. Discussions apparently went well, according to Pargo's agent...
