Ben Gordon: "Done" with Bulls, considering Europe?

With Kirk Hinrich, Larry Hughes, Ben Gordon and #1 overall draft pick Derrick Rose, the Bulls backcourt was certainly crowded. According to Ben Gordon, however, it is likely to be less crowded.
"I guess it's safe to say I've played my last game in a Bulls uniform," Gordon said.

Gordon, who has led the Bulls in scoring the past three seasons, said his agent, Raymond Brothers, has been speaking with other teams about sign-and-trade possibilities.

Brothers refused to name the teams he's spoken with, but added playing in Europe is also a possibility. He said the only certainty is Gordon will not sign the Bulls' one-year qualifying offer of $6.4 million.
Although it's more likely that Gordon stays in the NBA with one of the other 29 teams, he would be the biggest name so far to defect to Europe.
