The Chicago Bulls will have many decisions to make after the NBA season, a disappointing one even if they make it to the NBA Playoffs. A big one is at shooting guard, where Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes both demand starting money.
The Chicago Bulls offered Ben Gordon $10 million per year earlier in the season to remain a Bull, and Gordon turned them down, as did Luol Deng. Gordon figured a good season would propel his market value above the Bulls offer. Whether that comes to fruition or not remains to be seen, but NBA teams will surely give Gordon a good look.
The Bulls guard will draw some NBA suitors, but the bigger question is, which shooting guard the Bulls will want to keep for their roster? The addition from the Cleveland Cavaliers of Larry Hughes gives the Bulls some room to maneuver. Both have their upside and downside, but for me, I like Hughes' game better than Gordon's.
Larry Hughes, when he wants to, can be a stifling NBA defender, and is taller than the postable Gordon. Although Gordon can be electric offensively, he is often inconsistent, whereas with Hughes, you can pencil him in for 15 points a night, with hopefully a much better defensive effort than Gordon.
Many other questions still need to be answered concerning the Bulls roster, but with Larry Hughes penciled into the 2-spot for the next few years, at least the team is covered on both sides of the court, and the issue of the small backcourt is handled.
