I’m sitting here watching Fringe – not bad concept, some awful acting though – and was wondering that it’s kind of strange that Ben Gordon’s still a free agent.

Mount Vernon’s finest was the Bulls’ leading scorer with 18.6 points, shot over 90% from the line, and over 40% from behind the arc. Shouldn’t he have a deal by now? I know the Bulls’ back court is crowded with Derrick Rose, Thabo Sefolosha, Captain Kirk and Larry Hughes, so why not a sign and trade?
There will be base-year compensation issues with him signing a big new contract, but the season’s getting too close for a player of this caliber to not have a home. Gordon’s previously said he should be paid more than Luol Deng because he averaged more points, and that’s flat out ridiculous.
So what’s left? He can sign in Europe, but he’s denied those reports. He’s said he won’t sign a qualifying offer with the Bulls, so perhaps a trade is all that’s left.
But a question remains: Who wants to drop $50+ million on an undersized 2 guard who doesn’t play defense, and probably has a bad attitude? I have a feeling this will get pretty ugly … In the meanwhile, check out our man doing what he does best: bowling.
