&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This kills our chance of trading for Bosh since the Raps wont have a need for Deng and CB4 might want to stay in Canada now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

    <title>Ariza Verbally Commits to the Houston Rockets</title>

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan reports that Ariza, according to sources, will receive the Rockets' full mid-level exception, which is being projected to come in at $5.8 million for next season. If the exception for the 2009-10 season is indeed set at $5.8 million Wednesday when the league announces next season's salary cap and luxury tax, Ariza's deal would be worth $33.5 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks are bringing Gortat to town to tour the area and the team's facilities after extending him an offer believed to be worth Dallas' full mid-level exception -- which could translate to a five-year deal starting at roughly $5.6 million -- in hopes of dissuading the Orlando Magic from matching the offer."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Hollinger pumps up Chi-town as big FA destination on ESPN.com:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Dave (wisconsin)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What are the chances the Bulls land Bosh by trade this summer?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John Hollinger  (3:34 PM)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They have the assets to do it; the part about Gordon leaving that everyone forgets is that now they also have the cap space to sign Bosh outright after the season. Given the talent already there and the desirability of Chi-town, it might be the leading free agent destination next summer -- even ahead of the Big Apple."
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great article and I agree with him on every point. As an organization we constantly screwed with Gordon. And he always remained professional. I'm glad he's off this team that way he doesn't have to deal with Reindorf anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;When I spoke to Ben Gordon late Wednesday, after he agreed to a free-agent deal with Detroit, one comment he made was that he felt Bulls fans had been "cheated."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He didn&#8217;t elaborate, but I think he was referring to how the Bulls have given away some quality players in recent years to keep the payroll modest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So was &lt;a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/chi-02-bulls-ben-gordonjul02,0,5953796.story"&gt;another Gordon quote&lt;/a&gt; saying "I'm going to a situation now where winning is the No. 1 priority."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
