Taj Gibson – Chicago Bulls
Taj Gibson? No way! Say some of you…okay most of you, but I think it’s possible. The Bulls have a new coach in Fred Hoiberg, they just signed Jimmy Butler to a max contract and they have some depth at power forward.
Gibson is already backing up Pau Gasol, and he saw 24-year old Nikola Mirotic eat into his minutes at times during the season. Oh, I forgot to add that the Bulls used their 2015 first round pick on another power forward…Bobby Portis.
Gibson is owed around $8 million a year over the next two seasons and could be the odd man out in Chicago.
