Like what Indy said, Bulls will probably match it. Duhon fits right in the team

Paxson will match the offer for sure. Raptors, you will not get this man! Duhon is a nice combo with Hinrich in the backcourt. They both maybe small but they did what they did best to get the Bulls to the playoffs last season since the 1998 championships.

You Pax will definitely match, no point of even bothering offering duhon an offer.
He'd be better off in Chicago than Toronto newayz

if i were paxson, i'd at least keep my team in the running for a player like finley.


That's the ideal situation, it's indeed a shame about the MLE. I guess Paxson doesn't anticipate Finley would come to Chicago even for the full MLE.

Duhon is the next MJ? :lol: He can play basketball on a basketball court, in United Center. Yes in America. He can pass, shoot 3s and play defence.

He was a starter last year and if he returned to Chicago he'll be a backup for Hinrich.

Because Hinrich would move back over to point guard to give Gordon a starting spot.

you think Gordon can play the 3? I definitely think so. I mean if Wade can play the 3, why can't Gordon do the same? Gordon is only a inch shorter than Wade and 3 inches taller than Iverson. I see big things coming up for Ben this coming up season. Watch out guys

No Gordon cannot play the three. Wade is far more versatile then Gordon, and Wade can rebound. Gordon is a solid 2, period.

Gordon can't play the 3. He's small enough for the 2 as is. And when has Waded played the 3? I can't see either of them at the 3.

Maybe if they're playing each other, or if the team they're facing is playing small-ball with 3 or moee guards..

I know, I was only saying the person's reasoning for saying Wade played the 3.

Not a surprise that the Bulls matched.

That should all but eliminate the Bulls from bringing in Finley, though it would have been somewhat of a gamble to let Duhon walk and bank on Finley signing, one they perhaps don't need to take with what the core achieved last year. Again, shame about the MLE but I feel it was the right decision to make.
