Ben Gordon is a slightly better version of Crawford whose a guard version of Zach Randolph.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

ben gordon is a 10X better shooter than anybody on the team.

41% to 42% to 46% (until his off year this past season where everything went wrong for the bulls)

07/08: 24ppg, 45%
06/07: 34ppg, 48%
05/06: 27ppg, 53%

those are his #'s vs. pheonix. if he was on the knicks, he would be a shooting MACHINE w/ d'antoni.

I totally agree DJ. Question is, how much would you pay him?

you can't get him. there is no match between teams unless you're willing to engineer and S&T w/ lee for ben.

Well thats been the prevailing thought in this thread. How much do you make Chicago sign him for?

Gordon's very good at what he does although what he does is limited. I can think of a lot of two's I'd rather have, but I wouldn't mind having him on our roster depending on two things.
1) What the Bulls will want for him in a trade.
2) What we'll have to pay him.

i think ben gordon would score 25 ppg w/ d'antoni at 45% shooting.

I second that Gordon would get the consistent role under D'Antoni which is something imo he lacked in Chicago. Gordon just needs to be a system that won't play helter skelter with him. And if he had the consistent green light that Jamal has had for the past 2 seasons he would be at least 10 times the player Crawford is.

Currently speaking, he might be a more efficient version of Crawford and certainly Nate --- but am I wrong in not wanting to deal with an ex-Bulls. Unless of course there is a scientific breakthrough that can regenerate Jordan back into his 1992 form. Enough is enough, we really trying to be the baby Bulls.

I have no such problem. You win some and lose some on trades. With Donnie making the decisions, I'm comfortable with it.

If Gordon became the feature of D'Antoni's system he'd be extremely productive he's also somewhat of a clutch player late in games.

We need a third team to get involved to obtain him if we wanted to go that route(I don't per say).

FINALLY something I can agree on with you.

Although, I think we can work out a sign and trade with just Bulls. Malik + Nate???

I think it might take more - Nate and Craw.
