As the 2016 NBA Draft approaches, more trade rumors emerge as an NBA Insider has ground-breaking trades proposed.

There are some trades that seem very obvious to make, even for the casual NBA fan. However, NBA Insiders who scour the phones and have different sources within teams' front offices are privy to information that most would find unusual or even absurd.

ESPN Insider Chad Ford, known as the authority of the NBA Draft, notes that many of his trade proposals are based on the teams' intentions, based on what he's hearing.

 "We are not reporting these deals as actual trade talks," Ford clarified. "But in each case, the teams involved have been rumored to be talking about various scenarios."

The Chicago Bulls have the intention of playing a faster offense and clearly wants to get younger. In contrast, the Milwaukee Bucks had a breakthrough year with their young core, but regressed and went back to the lottery.

With this, Ford suggested the following trade, (ESPN trade machine link)

The Chicago Bulls will send the following players to the Bucks: Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson and the no.14 pick.

In return, the Bucks will send: Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker, Greg Monroe and Tyler Ennis.

The Bulls "trade rumors" trio have been on the mill for the better part of the last two seasons. The buzz for Chicago is at its highest as the team may have little choice but to make a move (for some, already too late and they paid for it with a playoff-less season).

It's a surprise to see them move both Rose and Butler especially on the same team, but Butler recently discussed that on a podcast with Bill Simmons. (h/t CSN Chicago)

"I think us being one in the same player, maybe I'm a little taller, he's a little faster, we can both attack the rim," Butler explained. "We can both beat our guy and then get shots for other players. Finish at the rim, midrange and we can both really guard to tell you truth. Get out in the open floor. There are so many things that we have in common that when we utilize those things and play together like that, I think we can be just as unguardable as anybody else."

In Ford's scenario, they will be not be in Chicago anymore, but with the Bucks, under newly extended coach Jason Kidd.

Ford believes that Kidd can coach a contender if he had a star player. He will have Butler teaming up with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Rose could also flourish after shedding off the Chicago hometown pressure (which now falls on Jabari Parker's shoulders).

For the Bulls, they get younger for Hoiball purposes, and more importantly, hometown hero Jabari Parker. Once thought untouchable, but Milwaukee would gladly trade him if they get a superstar in return. Greg Monroe will fill the void left by Pau Gasol (and possibly Joakim Noah).

This trade has two teams in different directions. One has a veteran coach and needs to take the next step, the other has a new coach who failed with the old roster and gets a chance with younger guys more suited to his system.
