CSKA Moscow makes offer to Gordon
[From the FanShots. Interesting, but I agree that it doesn't sound like a serious enough offer. The only reason for Ben to take this would be to screw over the Bulls...which, though he screws himself too, isn't the least worthwhile goal. -ed.]

CSKA Moscow May Have Come Creeping Round the Bulls' Back Stair for Ben Gordon
FanHouse —
... Paxson may have to pull those old Gordon Lightfoot records out for some sage advice. In the next level of the ever-escalating Ben Gordon contract standoff, noted Russian basketball juggernaut CSKA Moscow has reared its ugly head and is reported to be making a substantial offer to the Bulls' shooting guard. The report is dubious on several fronts. First, it comes from a Greek news site that was then found by a Bulls blog and then discovered by Blog-A-Bull's community. If you fancy a laugh, give the poorly translated version of the ...

... Bulls at the same time.
This is by no means a done deal. For now, the Daily Herald is reporting both Gordon and his agent are keeping a tight lip on this report and his future. However, if the money is good, the team is top-notch as reported and Gordon isn’t getting a lot of interest or as much scrilla here in the NBA, this certainly seems like a viable option for the guy.
Plus, he can always chill with Jannero Pargo.
