According to ESPN, Bulls restricted free agent guard Ben Gordon may consider going to Europe to play rather than staying in the United States. He says he would rather play in the NBA next season, but the Euro League is appealing to him.
If Gordon were to bolt from the NBA to the Euro League, you could add him to the list of NBA players that have left for greener pastures, which includes former Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Childress and New Jersey Nets center Nenad Krstic.
Gordon was the Bulls top scorer last season averaging 18 PPG. There is a lot of interest in Gordon around the league, but there are very few teams that could afford Gordon's services.
If the Bulls lose Gordon and possibly lose Luol Deng at the end of next season (he might just sign this years qualifying offer) Derrick Rose might have a difficult time getting this team to the playoffs.
