With training camp just around the corner, the NBA trade rumors are going overdrive. The latest players who were subjects of speculation were the Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson and Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings.
According to NBC Sports NBA trade rumors, the Chicago Bulls also have a "crowded frontcourt" with the signing of Paul Gasol and that means Taj Gibson would be fighting for minutes with Joakim Noah, Nikola Mirotic and the former Los Angeles Lakers center.
"If Noah has a bounceback season, it could make it more likely that Gar Forman and John Paxson finally pull the trigger on a Gibson trade," the report said.
The 6-9 forward averaged a career-high 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks for the Chicago Bulls last season, so it would be hard put to believe the latest NBA trade rumors involving the former USC Trojan.
Plus, according to Fox Sports, Taj Gibson's contract is favorable.
"Because of that great contract, one that pays him less than $9 million this season and next, the Bulls would be wise to keep Gibson in place," it said. "But if Noah bounces back in a big way and there's help available at another position of need, expect the Bulls to do whatever is necessary to continue to build what the team hopes will become a championship-caliber roster."
Meanwhile, more trade rumors point to Brandon Jennings being shopped around by the Detroit Pistons since the team already has plenty of point guards for the coming season.
MLive explains, "Trade possibilities are pinning the needle at point guard. It's difficult to imagine the Pistons not making a deal there. It might not happen until closer to the February trade deadline, but once Jennings returns, the Pistons could have three reserve point guards with trade value, Jennings on a high-value expiring contract, and Blake on a more affordable expiring contract."
And if push comes to shove, Brandon Jennings and his fat contract are more likely to move.
