Ben Gordon

Where does he play next season?

Re-sign with Bulls?
Sign and trade (or just sign elsewhere)?
Europe?

Not sure where he plays if he stays with the Bulls, and a S+T doesn't seem likely, not sure about Europe, I honestly have no idea.

realgm had S&T options as Phoenix, New Orleans, Miami or maybe Utah. Miami makes sense with him starting next to DWade. Wade would be able to cover up Gordon's flaws because of his size and ballhandling ability. Miami may even have the pieces to get a deal done with perhaps Shawn Marion and a pick for Ben Gordon and a player or two. Deron Williams and Utah also makes sense for me. Williams can similarly cover up for Wade's weaknesses. Phoenix and New Orleans make no sense at all to me. Chris Paul and Steve Nash play small for the point guard position and are horrible on ball defenders. Gordon will totally be exposed in those situations.

I would also like him with the cast of players with the LA Lakers (lacks trade material to get deal done), Portland (unlikely to want Gordon with the good guard depth), or Cleveland (Can you see the Bulls improving the Cavs?).

Great fit for the Laker's when I think about it. But what would it take? A Lamar Odom type deal? Not sure the Laker's pull the trigger on that

i would think that the deal would have to include Odom and then some other pieces.

maybe Odom and Farmar with a 2nd round pick or two for Ben Gordon, Cedric Simmons, and Aaron Grey. I think this might be as close as they can get before the Bulls say no.

I don't think the Laker's would or should do that. They need a true 3 more then anything.

maybe something like Farmar and Odom for Shawn Marion? (assumes that Marion signs extension)

lakers won't take him unless nocioni is involved....i hope that doesn't happen no way in hell do i want his ridiculous contract

well i dunno...better than luke walton's contract i guess...but if they hand out bad contracts to sf's like that they will be like the freakin knicks...

I would trade him to Miami..i think thats where he will probably likely go, he plays somewhat like Derrick Rose minus the handles and passing ability but he can shoot better and the Heat need an outside shooter to help Dwade to drive and dish out. Since the heat dont have Ricky Davis anymore they have that SG void they need to fill, i think that would be a good choice.
