Before I answer the question about Chicago moving on from Ben Gordon, let me throw some numbers at you:
2008-2009 (w/Ben Gordon):
FG%: .457 (16th)
PPG: 105.1 (8th)
Opponents FG%: .458 (15th)
2009-2010 (w/o Ben Gordon):

Whether you are happy, sad, or indifferent about Gordon leaving the Bulls, it will be weird to see him in a Pistons jersey this season. Well I had my “Gordon as a Piston” cherry popped today when I saw this on BDL. Enjoy the picture and have a great weekend.

Lost in America’s obsession with LeBron James and the possibility of Shaquille O’Neal joining him in Cleveland is the fact that CLEVELAND HAS NOTHING TO OFFER in exchange! On the other hand, the Suns have been interested in Luol Deng since they drafted him in 2004 (he was immediately traded to the Bulls). Not only [...]

The 1987-88 Bulls won 50 games and looked like a very good young team. They advanced to the Conference semi-finals, but were defeated in 5 games by the far superior Pistons. See the Pistons were just coming into the peak of their franchise’s history up to that point, and the young Bulls were not quite [...]
