2. Taj Gibson for Ramon Sessions and Brendan Haywood

We’ve already touched on why the Bobcats would love to add Taj Gibson, but why would the Bulls pull the trigger on this one? This trade proposal is a clear salary dump for Chicago. Ramon Sessions’s contract is done after this season, but Brendan Haywood would still have two years left on his. This trade would save roughly $6 million for the Bulls this offseason. This is the least likely trade to occur because the Bulls are unlikely to take on an older player in Haywood–especially since he has two years left on his contract. My next proposal is a three-team trade, maybe that will help spice things up?
