The Bulls made it sound as though re-signing free agent guard Ben Gordon would be a top priority this summer. But on the day free-agent negotiations could begin, Gordon quickly accepted a five-year, $55-million deal from the Detroit Pistons.

There were conflicting reports about whether Gordon or his agent gave the Bulls a chance to match the offer, but it probably didn't matter. The Bulls had only around $2 million to spare before crossing the luxury tax threshold and wouldn't have been willing to pay such a high price for Gordon.

His departure shouldn't have been a big surprise, since the Bulls essentially found a replacement last February when they acquired 6-foot-6 John Salmons from Sacramento. As much as they'll miss Gordon's scoring, Bulls management felt the team would have a better chance of contending for a spot in the Finals with a taller backcourt. After making his departure official, Gordon wasn't looking back.

"The Bulls never made an offer," Gordon said. "We were all ears, my agent (Raymond Brothers) and myself. Even after I signed the one-year deal and the things that happened the last two summers, not once did we turn our backs on the Bulls. I said that I'd still be willing to listen to the Bulls and work something out.

"They didn't even make an offer to me. That was kind of surprising, but I guess it's part of the way they do business. I'm moving on and I'm happy with my decision."

As it stands, the Bulls would probably open next season with Salmons starting at two guard and Luol Deng at small forward, with Kirk Hinrich coming off the bench. There have been persistent rumors, though, that the Bulls have discussed trading for Utah power forward Carlos Boozer.

Teams have refused to stand still in the last week or two, several players are going to their new teams who either drafted them, traded for them or will sign them as a free agent.

Only a few days into the NBA Free Agency and about a week since the NBA draft, but the landscape of strength in the nba is still changing. Several teams are very active in free agent negotiations, drafting and signing rookies, and some teams are in trade discussions, here is what has taken place so far.

Here are my current team rankings based on player movement this off-season:

Im going to make a prediction here and say the Bulls land a 5 seed, and win their first round matchup but lose in the 2nd round. I may be crazy and very optomistic but this team has a lot of potential and a ton of confidence after their loss in the playoffs to Boston.

I like what the Bulls have for this upcoming yr and am very o

2010 cap may limit signings

By Marc Stein

ESPN.com

The NBA's ballyhooed free-agent summer of 2010 might have quietly taken another hit late Tuesday night.

In a memo announcing next season's salary cap and luxury-tax threshold, sent out shortly before the league's annual July moratorium on signings and trades was lifted at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, NBA teams also received tentat ...(more)

From everything I heard and read, the Bulls did try and make trades last night. The problem: not everybody is sold on the Bulls young players. The one player they might be able to move is Kirk Hinrich, and last I heard, the Blazers had the best offer, which would have given the Bulls Raef LaFrentz's contract and Channing Frye.

Bulls fans, if this list doesn't make you salivate or foam at the mouth, then your not a die-hard Bulls fan. This is what is available for next summer and since Chicago didn't restrict it's future salary cap by giving 11 million dollars a year for a one-dimensional scorer named ...(more)

Are there any free agents that the Bulls are considering going after?

Right now the roster:

PG- Rose / Hinrich
SG- Salmons / Nelson
SF- Deng / Johnson / Tm Thomas
PF- Tyrus / Gibson
 C- Noah / Miller

so when I look at our roster I think we need SG help of course, even more that BG is

So on some RUMOR sites i've been looking up the Bulls. I've seen alot on the Bulls and Allen Iverson, however the bulls stated that they didn't want A.I. and there is a 0% chance of A.I. being a Bull. However i've seen talks about Jannero Pargo returning to the bulls. ...(more)

(POLL) It sounds like the Bulls are interested in bringing back Jannero Pargo. Pargo had some big games for the Bulls and Hornets before he headed to Europe last season. He's a VERY streaky scorer, but he knows that is his role.

One option that would be a good one-year, stop ga

So Jannero Pargo is a member of the Bulls again. What should I be thinking?

I thought I would compare all the current nba power fowards and what each players production has been throughout their career per 36 minutes (normal starter minutes and an actual nba stat). Here is what each player has produced so far to date.
