Bulls GM Forman: Top goal re-signing Gordon
Re-signing guard Ben Gordon will be the top priority of new Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman heading into the offseason.

Forman met with reporters on Thursday, a day after being promoted to his new position, and he said he believes Gordon wants to stay in Chicago. "There's still a lot of steps until we get to that point," Forman added.

Gordon, who becomes a free agent on July 1, played a key role in the Bulls' impressive performance against the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. The Celtics won the seven-game series that featured four overtime games.

Alex Acker loves Haters and Sheed
Did you know Sheed wears football helmets during practice? Me neither, but thanks to a Tweet from my favorite NBA correspondent Elie Seckbach we do now!

A beautiful day in Michigan, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and Orlando took down Cleveland at home.

How many Mock Drafts can you really read? SI thinks Detroit will use their #15 pick to snatch Ohio State Center B.J. Mullens. All for a big man, but is Mullens proven after just one year in college?

I need Pistons fans help with this one! I got an email from an Old Schooler like myself who needed a hand with some Bad Boys Pistons trivia. “There is a song from back in the day when the bad boys won the 89-90. It is not One Mission, but it was a Rap song that had Laimbeer, Thomas, Mahorn’s name in it.” Now I remember the song vaguely but for the life of me I couldn’t tell you who did it or what the name of it was. Here is where you guys help us out if you can. It’s going to bother me until we get the answer!

I plan on having an entire series of "Looking to the Draft" pieces posted in the coming weeks. I have a number of them that need some tweaking that are currently in my drafts. The one that needs the most tweaking is Terrence Williams. The reason for that is a couple articles were posted Wednesday that I need to go back and address. Dave Dial of MLIVE's Full Court Press brought to my attention that Williams worked out with Joe Dumars Tuesday. Mr. Dial then broke down a few different mock drafts and their scouting reports on Williams with follow up analysis of his own. Make sure you check it out.

The other piece worth looking at is the interview Matt Watson of Detroit Bad Boys scored with Terrence Williams as he was literally on his way out of Detroit at the airport gate. Watson asks some really insightful questions and Williams was not shy with his responses. I highly recommend you give it a read if you want to get to know a potential future Piston a little better.

Speaking of getting to know Terrence Williams better (and this is something you can also find in the interview mentioned above), Williams is on Twitter. If you are on Twitter follow him and then (insert personal plug here) head over to my page and follow me. Remember SB Nation is still having a Twitter 5K Race and I need to be the first to 5,000 followers. It's not looking good right now, but I am 10th out of nearly 200 SB Nation bloggers.

If you're not sick of hearing about the Billups-Iverson trade already, Dan Feldman at Piston Powered has a very interesting piece on the inner workings of the deal. Apparently, the Pistons asked for Carmelo and Denver countered with Iverson.

John Davis of Pistonscast wants to know why/if you're still rooting for Chauncey Billups in the Western Conference Finals. He is also calling for people to start discussing the free agency pool. Head on over and listen to his latest podcast and start weighing in with your thoughts.
