Though no one talked about it at the time, it was clear Salmons was brought in not only to enhance the team but as insurance in case Gordon left as a free agent. Salmons moved over to small forward with the injury to Luol Deng. But with an outspoken emphasis on improved defense for next season, it would seem a backcourt of Derrick Rose and Salmons with Deng at small forward would be better suited toward that defensive goal than playing Gordon at shooting guard.
In addition, Kirk Hinrich would seem to be an ideal combo backup guard for point guard and shooting guard. It also would enable the Bulls, especially when Hinrich plays with Salmons, to be in better position to switch the pick and roll and enhance the defense, the kind of tactic coach Vinny Del Negro seems to prefer.
The Bulls also continued in an additional new direction, which emphasizes financial flexibility for the February 2010 trading deadline when a team like Toronto might be ready to deal someone like Chris Bosh. Or the big summer free agency of 2010 when the likes of Bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Amar’e Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, Joe Johnson and Dirk Nowitzki can become free agents.
The Bulls have accumulated $25 million in expiring contracts to be in position in 2010 and it is a franchise priority now to retain that flexibility. The Bulls are not going to endanger that by resigning Gordon. Also, a sign and trade seems unlikely since the Bulls would have to take back an equal salary. And if they did, why not keep Gordon?
