NBA to have Regular Season Game in London

I'd assume the Bulls will probably be a part of this whenever it happens.

If Ben Gordon leaves the Bulls this summer, I assume that team would be the opposition.

I'd think the NBA would want to send a team with some stars over there, like say

the Lakers or the Cavs maybe?

The only reason I could see the Bulls getting the nod is because of Luol and Ben, who probably won’t be here next year.

I am not really sure if teams like going overseas.

I seem to remember last year or the year before some teams went and the time shift and long flights threw them off at the start of the season. Or at least it was mentioned as much. Hornets, Wizards, Golden State, Bucks…not anyone from the top five. Traveling isn’t very fun when you are that big and the stars don’t typically play long minutes in the preseason anyway. I guess if the Hornets did it the Bulls can, but typically it seems like not so good teams get that assignment.

Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.

They'd most likely take the Bulls over those teams.

Gordon will be a superstar in Great Britain after this summer and Luol Deng already is. A Deng vs. Gordon matchup in Great Britain would have David Stern creaming his pants…but even a game with just the Bulls, with both Gordon/Deng will be good, because the fans there, it will be just like watching the National Team…only with Derrick Rose and Chris Bosh.

yeah, we're not getting Chris Bosh, though.

I’d be thrilled if we did, but I don’t buy it, and probably won’t until the deal is actually complete and I see Bosh holding a Bulls jersey.

I’ve seen it too many times before. Oh, the Bulls are gonna get KG. Oh, the Bulls are going to get Gasol. Oh, the Bulls are going to get Kobe. Oh, the Bulls are getting Amare Stoudemire. Now, it’s oh, the Bulls are going to get Chris Bosh. I’ll believe it when I see it.
