1. Kirk Hinrich and Taj Gibson for Ben Gordon

In my first proposed trade former Sixth Man of the Year Ben Gordon goes back to where his career started: Chicago. Why would the Bulls do this trade? Ben Gordon is an expiring contract and with Gibson and Hinrich off the books they will be able to sign a max player this off season. Why would the Bobcats do this? Gibson has been a consistently above average frontcourt player, and at only 28 years old he would blend in with the young roster in Charlotte. Lastly, Hinrich is a proven leader and he can help mentor Kemba Walker and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
