Trading For Taj Gibson Possible? 

Post#1 » by walk with me » Sat Feb 1, 2014 8:02 pm

I've read some online in a few places that the bulls would be willing to consider trading taj gibson if the package was right and one of their most important concerns would be freeing up cap space for next season to bring in a big FA for d-rose to pair up with.


Wondering if the heat could put together any package realistically to lure the bulls into sending us Taj Gibson, I feel like he would give us what udonis haslem used to be once upon a time and probably a little bit more. Has a "ok" contract also vs the field for what he can produce as a power forward.

I bet the Bulls can't wait to trade one of their best players to us and make us more difficult to beat.. 8-)

We are not looking to add any more front court players. They are looking for a swing player other wise we are rolling with what we have. During the playoffs the rotation will shrink to an 8 man rotation. A lot of the players you see play will not get minutes come playoff time.

Surprised we didnt go after Shannon Brown. Riley was interested in him in free agency two summers ago

We don't have anything worth offering for them. Looks like they are retooling and we don't have any young guns for them.

Taj is definitely a Heat type player and has been recruited before by I believe LeBron, but it ain't happening.

You guys need to get through your head that we have essentially one player with any sort of value in terms of trading (Cole), outside of the Big 3.

I just don't see how they could get him. Like Slot said there's next to nothing in terms of tradeable assets. I'm not very familiar with trading picks, maybe there's something they could do with that in terms of future 1st rounders and possibly Cole...But realistically this is a pipe dream.

Haslem's wife for Taj Gibson. His wife has more talent then UD! Well she can cook, clean, do laundry, always looking good and you can stare at her stunning body which is what the bulls need.
