  • Raptors-Bulls.

    With Jimmy Butler emerging as a max contract player it looks like the Bulls will have some tough decisions to make to stay under the cap this summer. They have $55 mill committed to Rose, Noah, Gibson, Gasol and Mirotic. One has to assume they will do everything they can to keep Butler, which is likely a max contract offer. On top of that Noah is a free agent after the 2015-2016 season and will want a raise.

    They might have to trade a guy like Taj Gibson to give them the cap relief they need. And man, would Taj ever be a good fit for the raps. He's also only due 8.5 mill next year and 8.95 the following year so relatively affordable. With Gasol, Noah and Mitotic in the post, he's probably the most likely guy to get moved.

    The bulls would probably be reluctant to trade to a conference rival but the raps have expiring contracts and some draft picks to offer.

    Questions:
    Do you think Gibson would be a good fit for the raps? What would it take to get him? And has anyone read anything about how the Bulls could possibly keep Butler without dumping salary? I'm assuming they will try to avoid paying the tax.

    Taj is the ideal PF for us but question is who do we have to entice such a trade. Amir + filler for Taj?
