Gordon or Hinrich likely done in Chicago

Ben Gordon is a an unrestricted free agent while Kirk Hinrich has three years left on a five-year $47.5 million contract. It ends after the 2011-12 season. It's likely, though not certain, that only one of them will return to the team the next season. That's because with Derrick Rose the starting point guard for the future, it's questionable whether the team's salary structure could support a new deal for Gordon and Hinrich's contract. John Salmons has just one year left on his contract at about $5.5 million. He has an opt-out after next season he's likely to take and the Bulls figure to want to bring him back. It seems unlikely they could satisfy all three with finances and playing situations. Asked about the bitter negotiations the past two summers, Gordon said: "At the end of the day, it's a business. I'm able to put my feelings aside. If there's animosity the organization needs to be able to do the same thing. This is not kids in the playground arguing. This is a business. They need to sit down and figure something about. If there's nothing to figure out, just move on and do something else
