    If they kept him they would be dominating every team. They're already amazing with Keith Bogan who sucks chode but if they had Ben Gordon he would've helped take the offensive load off Rose b/c he'd be good for 20pts per game. Plus Rose would ghave his assists per game go up (points per game may decrease) b/c he doesn't have to do all the scoring on the Bulls and people would stop dogging him for not being a traditional pg. He left b/c the Bulls didn't offer him a new contract, which I think is screwed up since he's the only reason why they almost beat the Celtics during the playoffs. And the only reason why he's doing so bad right now is b/c he's on the awful Pistons, their losing ways are rubbing off on him.

  • NOOOO NOO! NOT HIM AGAIN!

    Gordon was a total ball hog and shot jacker. And he wasnt even that good. And he was VERY inconsistent.

    A lot of people think the Bulls would be amazing ^^^ because they remember that amazing series 2 years ago with the Celtics. Gordon hit countless GM winning or tying shots, so fans remember his clutchness.

    But if he stayed, Gordon would want the ball in his hands all the time, and this would stunt Rose's growth and he would probably not be an MVP candidate.

    No. Look at Ben Gordon's stats. They've been in decline, and I believe he's averaging around 10 points at this stage of his career. He's not even a good player on the Pistons.
