What happened was is Bulls prioritized Deng and offered him more money....they offered Ben a decent deal(5/50 i think). Ben got kinda offended and shopped for other offers. Ben decided he wanted to go back to the Bulls but Reinsdorf caught feelings and basically pulled their offer.
Loved Ben but he was an one dimensional scorer who shot us out of games and dribbled theball off his foot. He had some great moments tho...i will always respect him for those
as hell that nate didn't dunk at the 5:45 mark on a wide open fast break.
andre miller out there playing on the white team???? 
He never improved his defense or playmaking ability at all. Just a scorer
Still no reason he couldnt be a shorter Jamal Crawford style bench scorer
Also he would argue with coaches so he got stuck with tha uppity negro tag which is usually a kiss of death for a career
Nah Ben stole that money from Detroit and stopped caring lol.IT SEEMS LIKE BOTH OF THESE DUDES GOT BLACKBALLED.
IN THE RIGHT SYSTEM
THEY WOULD THRIVE IN THE CURRENT NBA.

happened to John Salmons? He balled out in that series and fell off too.I think Salmons got a big contract around that time also and stopped giving a fukk.Ben Gordon was my g on that 2009 Bulls team.
