Three-Team Trade

Bulls get: Evan Turner

Bobcats get: Taj Gibson

76ers: Ben Gordon and a pick

This trade makes to0 much sense to me. The Bulls getting Evan Turner gives them an amazing amount of flexibility this offseason. This is a contract year for Turner, so the Bulls could easily not resign him and use that money to sign a max player at the seasons end. Additionally, if they don’t think they can convince Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James to come to Chicago, they could resign Turner. The 76ers are in rebuilding mode, but trading an expiring contract for another expiring contract just doesn’t make sense. Some kind of combination of picks could convince the 76ers to pull the trigger. A couple of second round picks or a lottery protected 1st rounder would make sense.  Additionally, for the 76ers, Gordon is a worse player than Turner, so their lottery chances would increase. This trade can be a win for all three teams.
