Moving an expiring contract for older players is always a smart move if one can get a steal or an underrated player in another team’s roster, waiting in the wings to break out. In the summer, the Bulls picked up a player like that in Spencer Dinwiddie, who performed spectacularly in the Las Vegas Summer League.
The first steal for Gibson if they can make a deal would be Larry Nance Jr. – whom the Bulls already played twice to get a feel of his game.
The next best big the Bulls can get for Taj is Orlando Magic rookie forward-center, Stephen Zimmerman.
