Gordon’s agent, Raymond Brothers, told Chicago management on Wednesday that he had an offer from the Pistons. Only, Brothers wouldn’t tell the Bulls how much Detroit was willing to pay.

They don't have to.

Did Detroit wait for the Bulls to make and offer before they “matched” it? Nope. You go after the players you want. The Bulls didn’t go after BG. They sat around twiddling their thumbs and are now putting on this “oh, that’s not fair” routine. Please. If keeping BG was their number one priority I doubt their methods will get them anything else on down their list either. When you have a FA you want you do everything you can to make them feel wanted. You throw out some numbers at 12:01. You don’t wait around for other people to make offers first.

Besides, all of fandom knew what the Pistons were offering. JR must not know what this newfangled internet thing is.

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.

exactly exactly exactly

At 12:01 Gar Paxdorf should’ve been on BG’s doorstep with offer in hand.

I can live with the Bulls getting out-bid…I CAN’T live with them not even offering anything.

Bulls had more important stuff to do at 12:01

Such as immediately contact Marquis Daniels.

What?

We didn’t do that, please say we didn’t do that and you’re trying for some reason to be funny…..

No to Daniels. COme on… I mean in Sept sure, but not this early in free agency, there are bigger fish out there….

THE BULLS ARE GOING TO WIN IN 2010....maybe by stating this the positive vibes can make it happen.

If only it were a joke.

Worried that leading scorer Ben Gordon will leave for Detroit, the Chicago Bulls have contacted Indiana free-agent guard Marquis Daniels as a possible replacement.

That's only if they wanted to keep him

but it seems they didn’t even care. If they really wanted him to stay they would have made an offer; even if it was for 8 or 9 mil. Just let him know this is what we want to pay you then if he gets a better offer then good for him.
