The Taj rumor somewhat fits in with something i was told not too long ago. Interesting.

What do you think we would offer them for Gibson? Isaiah ? Or Green and Plumlee involving a third team to match salaries?

Neither. I believe it might involve the MoBros.

If we get Taj, then I am sure Len will have more touches at offense.

Are we looking at a straight swap or would we be getting additional value back? Or are you just speculating its the MoBros?

He's not on our roster, so that means he's infinitely better than Kieff

I swear, we just want different names on our roster, regardless of fit.

If Tobias Harris is available, I think he's a good target. I don't get a lot of the other trades that get thrown around.

I haven't seen much of Tobias Harris so excuse my ignorance but how is he much different to Kieff? Both undersized 4's, Harris even plays 3. Both shoot under 50fg% and both average around 7reb per36.

Taj would be a godsend for us.
He does everything really well, has huge wingspan... can play some 5
would put us in a more traditional lineup and maybe free up some space for a scoring SF in the future
(no need for tucker when taj would be rebounding now)

Regarding Taj, I'm hoping we ship one of Green or IT for more back. But that might be doing too much with one move which might jeopardize the whole trade.

You obviously have some inside info. Thank you for sharing just a tad. I know you can't give up more info but anyway thanks.

I personally think taj is a downgrade from markeiff. Last year playing about 30 minutes taj averaged 13 and 7. Not worth markeiff much less markeiff PLUS something else. Hope ryan knows what he is doing.

What about
Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green and Mook
For:
Noah Vonleh and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

I believe that our problem is depth and if we get rid of it and the log-jam we would become a better "team"

Tobias Harris would be huge. Young player, great potential, fills our biggest need. He's also a RFA after the season, so yeah. Sign me up.

Taj AND McDermott for the MoBros would be a fair trade.

As I have recently stumbled on how back channel Suns information is shared, you obviously are getting info from a Suns insider in some manner. Damn you sir, I demand a true accounting of what is afoot regarding a potential Taj trade. :lol:

Seriously though, I don't think Taj is that great, nor do I think he is awful. I think he is an undersized PF who works hard and has a decent game. If we traded the MoBros for Taj, we lose on the talent end of the trade, but we win on the high character side of the trade.

Its a wee-bit of speculation based of info. Its not that big of a stretch to piece 2 and 2 together. As for it being a straight swap or getting additional value, i have no idea.

2 trades in one if McD is hellbent on getting Taj.

Taj a a small PF at 6'8" and is pretty light in weight. He has been a bench player most of his career. He came off the bench behind Carlos Boozer, and now comes off the bench behind Pau Gasol. Taj is like Markieff. He is not a difference maker as a starter, but he does well as a 6th man.

TJ Warren tho...

kennydorglas · Post #799 » by **kennydorglas** » Thu Feb 5, 2015 2:56 am

Tobias coming in would kill any chance for TJ Warren in this team.
I think they're pretty similar (6'8 220lbs oldschool styles)

Sunsdeuce · Post #800 » by **Sunsdeuce** » Thu Feb 5, 2015 2:59 am

This isn't a rumor. But obviously this is what the Bulls media/fans think right now.

In Phoenix, the Bulls could go after Goran Dragic. Dragic has been mentioned as a player that is on the trading block and would be a wing player the team could start. He would be inserted into the starting lineup as a shooting guard and Jimmy Butler would move over to the three. Niko would be the first big off of the bench and Mike Dunleavy would then take a role coming off of the bench. This could be a possibility for the Bulls if they are looking to move Taj.
