Popeye Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I am not sure that anybody posted yet, and it was 5 days ago. Bulls to trade Gordon this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well if that's indeed the case, a Harrington for Gordon deal could very well end up being the deal. I don't know why they want to get rid of him, but if I'm BK, I'm not asking why. It seems like he's won so many games for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, how will it work in a SNT cause Ben is still on his rookie contract and Al will get bigger one. Do they have to throw in somebody else??

It says here that he had problems with Skiles, but i am sure everybody does in Chicago since he is a hard nosed guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmund Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 It would have to be like Harrington for Gordon/Sweetney/OHarrington. Maybe we add in Donta Smith or Salim Stoudamire (a cheap player) to make it somewhat more attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 He might just fit in well here...often a change of scenery makes all the difference MW...I don't know about the details of a trade like that, ie: does the snt option negate the contract value equivalency?

Nicholasp27 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 well, chicago has cap space, so they can take back more than they give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted May 9, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I think Gordon may get dealt, but the proof to that will be shown on draft night. I think who Chicago drafts will be the tell tell sign. With their first pick, I'm fully expecting Aldridge or Bargnani. However, if their second pick is a pure SG like Redick, Fernedez, or Brewer, then expect a changing of the guard in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted May 9, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 No. I think it's just Harrington for Gordon. Chicago takes back the salary under their massive cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudderfudder77 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I don't want to say categorically Gordon won't be traded (anything is possible) I just find it very unlikely. Unless Chicago plans on trading for a 2 guard, i don't know who will take bens spot. Deng is not a 2, and Nocioni isn't quick enough. Hinrich plays there part time, but it would be a waste of his talents to move him there permanent. As for trading for Harrington, I don't know why they would anymore. Nocioni has made big improvements, and I don't know that harrington is all that better than him (when you factor in the level of defense each plays). Gordon has been on the trading block (in the media) since the Bulls drafted him. I just don't see them parting - he's too explosive a scorer.

Dragitoff Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Who can score in the post for Chicago now? We all have to admit, Al has good post moves if nothing else. Most teams see Al as a 2nd or 3rd scoring option and he's valuable at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packfill Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is Gordon really different then the undersized shooting guards the Hawks currently have trying to play point guard? He is more talented for sure, but unless he is a lockdown defender I think the Hawks are better off looking at someone with more playmaking skills to complement JJ.

TheDude Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 he would be a good upgrade of the lue/salim/ivey situation...so although we NEED a big man, this would still help defensively a bit on the perimeter plus he's much much better than the others we have... i'd do it in a heartbeat..

DrReality Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 All these ideas about what we will get for Al are just fantasy. What did we get for Rasheed Wallace? Wasn't it a single first rounder??? and a throw in? and he's much better than Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezmund Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Who's Josh Smith? I don't understand why everyone refers to that trade as a bad one. We traded $20+ million worth of SAR and Ratliff for $1 million of Josh Smith. A+++ move right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
