I saw an interesting trade proposal from Basketball Insiders

quote:

Chicago Bulls trade Taj Gibson to Phoenix Suns for Gerald Green, Anthony Tolliver and Shavlik Randolph and a first-round pick.

It’s going to be hard for the Chicago Bulls to hold onto guard Jimmy Butler at this point, especially now that he’s a likely All-Star and will command max, or near-max money in restricted free agency this summer. The only way to have a shot at affording him is to ship off Taj Gibson, who just so happens to play a position at which the Bulls have loads of depth. Green and Randolph are expiring contracts, and Tolliver will have one more year at $3 million left after this season, a deal which should be fairly easy to move. This generates cap space (and a draft pick) for the Bulls and gives Phoenix a really good player that is being severely underutilized for his current team. Given the right role and right minutes, Gibson is a 15/10 guy. That’s surely worth a pick and a couple of expiring deals.

This is from the guy that covers the Bulls for BI, so it should be a Bulls centric view. So if they would be getting Green essentially because he's expiring trade filler, Salmons + any other minimum guy would be enough to make it a 3 way.

Keep in mind this isn't a rumor, just a trade proposal, but if Green ends up being a throw in to a bigger trade, turning Salmons into Green needs to happen.

It's not going to happen, but Butler would be a nice piece next to Davis and Jrue.
