Gordon in mid-August notified the Bulls that he declined the offer of 6.4 million dollars for one year (less from four millions dollars “pure”) wanting to play in Europe for one year or it is given in exchange so that it is not committed by Chicago. If signed by CSKA after a year he will return in to the NBA looking for a six-year-old contract of 75 millions of dollars.

The subject is expected to close up to Wednesday either negatively or positively. There exists a difference in economics, Gordon requires a seven million dollar deal but the Russians offer 5.5 million dollars. The movement causes incredible surprise, after the European champions strengthened, and are already in a stronger position (Langknton, Cholnten, Siskaoyskas, Zissis, Planinits) also since Gordon plays mainly as a shooting guard and less as a play maker.

I'm also considering playing in Europe just to let you guys know.

If he won't sign the qualifying offer, Gordon's only option is sitting out or playing in Europe. Even next summer, no NBA team in their right mind will give him $75 million over 6 years.
