Ben Gordon is off to a slow start this season, averaging just 13.2 points on 37.9 percent shooting, and has appeared to be brooding a bit on the court and in the locker room. This has led to speculation that the former Sixth Man winner is unhappy with his playing time (26.9 minutes) and his role coming off the bench. Some have even suggested the Bulls, in need of a big man, might look to trade him.

Gordon hasn't said anything publicly to indicate he's disgruntled, and Bulls GM John Paxson told SI.com on Wednesday that his second-year star has not approached him with any concerns. Paxson also said he has no intention of trading Gordon.

Gordon's agent, meanwhile, says that while his client might get frustrated at times, he wants to stay in Chicago. "My typical response is, 'every player wants to play more.' If you ask any player, they'd say the same thing," Billy Ceisler told SI.com. "As far as this trade talk, I told John Paxson, '[Ben] is a selfless kid. He'll do everything in his power to help his team win. He did it in college.'"
