After watching the Chicago Bulls fall apart against the Miami Heat it is apparent the Warriors have something the Bulls need. The Bulls desperately need another scorer to go along side Derek Rose. Anytime Rose struggled to score the Bulls struggled to score. How sexy would Monta Ellis look sitting next to Derek Rose? That back court would have any team shaking in their boots.
On the other side of the coin the Warriors need something the Bulls have, defense. This team needs more of a defensive mind set and a guy like Taj Gibson would give them just that for a long long time. He would be a very nice starter at PF for this team.
To make a trade like this actually happen Luol Deng would probably have to accompany Gibson to the Bay. I am not a huge Deng fan but I would gladly take his contract if it means getting Gibson. I feel Monta would compliment Rose nicely. He isn’t much of a defender but I think he would probably improve his defensive skills in a system like that. He is bringing so much scoring to the table that his defense would only need to be average.
I see both teams improving in this trade but I am not sure it would really ever happen. How excited the Bulls would be to get an undersized guard that needs the ball in his hand quite a bit I am not sure of. I could see them being excited about a guy like Ellis and not excited all at the same time. However the Warriors I am sure would be super excited about this move.
It probably won’t happen but it is a call the Warriors front office should make.
