Ben Gordon is top priority for Bulls and Pistons

DETROIT (AP) - A person tells The Associated Press that Chicago
Bulls guard Ben Gordon is in talks with the Detroit Pistons about
joining the team.
      Pistons spokesman Kevin Grigg declined comment on Gordon's
situation Wednesday, saying there's an NBA moratorium on discussing
free-agent matters.
      But a person close to the talks says Gordon was in Michigan on
Wednesday. The person declined to be identified because the talks
are private, but says Gordon was meeting with Joe Dumars, Detroit's
president for player personnel.
      Gordon was Chicago's top scorer the past four years and became
an unrestricted free agent after the season. Bulls officials have
said bringing him back next year was a top priority.
