CNNSI Ian Thomsen's Take on the Gordon Situation

CNNSI Ian Thomsen's Take on the Gordon Situation

This appears to be a new article and I haven't seen it posted in any other thread. It contains some interesting quotes from Paxson, Gordon, and Deng.

One anonymous scout says: "Will [Gordon] care about the Bulls? Let's face it, he wants no part of the Bulls after they wouldn't give him the long-term money he was looking for. He will not be a Bull after this year.''

Bulls Haven't Matched Last Summer's Offer to BG(?)

Bulls Haven't Matched Last Summer's Offer to BG(?)

At least, that is what the author of this Sun-Times piece contends. The article also synopsizes the latest news (or lack thereof) regarding negotiations between the Bulls and Gordon.

Gordon states that he doesn't believe the negotiations should have been this protracted.

I didn't see this posted in any other thread.

I'm just going to keep re-freshing this diary every so often, as the only place for draft talk. -Matt

Probably so, but that won't stop me from linking to this Chad Ford article on the best prospects in the 2008 draft! Sweet.

Not suprisingly, he lists Beasley as the best prospect, but one wonders if the Bulls truly need yet another 6-9 power forward?

What about taking OJ Mayo and trading away Gordon or Hinrich?

I don't suspect any of these players would have the immediate impact that most Bulls' fans crave, but perhaps I am underestimating this draft class.

Hopefully, the Bulls turn things around and draft analysis becomes a moot issue.
