    He said he turned it down because they didnt negotiate with him, just said here's the deal take it or we dont want to talk to you anymore about it.

    That said, they need to sign and trade BG maybe to a team like the Suns or something, but they definitely need to address the inside this summer or next

      If that's the case BG is still an idiot for not taking the money.

      CHI was straight up foolish to offer him that kind of dough in the first place. Not to mention Deng.

        As a Bulls fan, I wanna see Gordon back in a Bulls uniform next year. Him and Rose can be a dynamic backcourt. I think the Bulls were wrong for making Deng our franchise player when he hadn't done nearly enough as Gordon has.

        Now that Rose is our franchise player, everyone else needs to fall in line or ship out.

            I'd kill myself if the Suns traded for Ben Gordon.

              Forman wants to re-sign Gordon
              Associated Press
              May 22, 2009
              Comment on this story
              DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Re-signing guard Ben Gordon will be the top priority of new Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman heading into the offseason.

              Forman met with reporters on Thursday, a day after being promoted to his new position, and he said he believes Gordon wants to stay in Chicago.

              "There's still a lot of steps until we get to that point," Forman added.

              Gordon, who becomes a free agent on July 1, played a key role in the Bulls' impressive performance against the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. The Celtics won the seven-game series that featured four overtime games.

              Forman replaced John Paxson, who will remain with the Bulls as executive vice president of basketball operations. Forman is in charge of day-to-day basketball decisions, while Paxson will deal mostly with long-term organizational planning and talent evaluation.

              Forman was on several college coaching staffs before joining the Bulls as a scout after the 1997-98 season.

              "One thing I can tell you about Gar is that in the time we've worked together he's very organized, very detailed," Paxson said. "Growing up in basketball, he has coached and scouted and has very, very good eyes for talent and evaluation."

              Paxson has been criticized for some of the decisions he made as general manager from 2003 to 2009. A trade he made last year, however, helped the team solidify around overall No. 1 draft pick Derrick Rose.

              John Salmons and Brad Miller were acquired from Sacramento for Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden, Michael Ruffin and Cedric Simmons.

              "Our goal is going to be to bring back the core of this roster, this playoff roster for next season," Forman said.

              Paxson, a guard on the Bulls' championship teams from 1991-93, replaced Jerry Krause as general manager in 2003. He drafted Gordon, Kirk Hinrich and acquired Luol Deng in a trade with Phoenix.

              "I'm still going to be here, a big part of the organization -- I'm not going anywhere," he said.
