The NBA Trade Rumors continue as Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls is still the odd man out in the rotation.
New coach Fred Hoiberg is has been dubbed as the "Anti-Thibs" by Blog A Bull, and this is because he will use a faster pace.
"Hoiberg is going to have the complete opposite approach to coaching this team," they stated. "His teams fly up the court, getting into their first action very early in the clock and looking decisively for good passes."
The Bulls roster has a deep frontcourt, with Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic leading the rotation and they also picked up Bobby Portis in the 2015 Draft. This is a luxury in the NBA where many teams lack reliable bigs.
What Chicago would need is more offense and an ideal trade would send one of their frontline assets for a better scorer, and Wilson Chandler fits the bill.
Chandler could actually fit in the starting three spot over Mike Dunleavy, considered as the weak point of the Bulls' starting lineup. He can also play the four if Hoiberg rides the small-ball bandwagon with Jimmy Butler at the three.
A trade proposed by a recent Fanpost article has the Bulls sending Taj Gibson, a trade rumor staple, to the Denver Nuggets.
"Bulls trade: Taj Gibson, Kirk Hinrich Nuggets trade: Gary Harris, Wilson Chandler, stated the post. "Putting Harris and Wilson Chandler in Chicago helps tremendously with outside range. The problem is will Denver be willing to trade Chandler after re-signing him to that big contract."
Denver would probably consider, as Gibson is a hard worker on fair deal which is why he is considered for trades, aside from being in a logjam. Gibson even played center in certain stretches when the Bulls were ravaged by injuries. Hinrich is another player that the Bulls would want to trade off yet other teams will find his shooting and veteran wits to good use-especially on a team like the Nuggets.
