For the last two seasons, Ben Gordon has turned down a lot of money hoping to earning more with no success. Â Now it looks like he will except a one-year deal with the Bulls, attend training camp and try again next summer.
“There had been speculation that Gordon might not show up Monday for media day or for the first of five days of double practice sessions beginning Tuesday because of dissatisfaction over his negotiations. But Gordon, a restricted free agent, told confidants that rocking the boat wasn’t his style and he had to remain professional.
Along those lines, Gordon is expected to sign the one-year tender offer of $6.4 million by Wednesday’s deadline and become an unrestricted free agent next summer. No serious sign-and-trade options have developed.”
