With the trade deadline ending in almost 24 hours, the Chicago Bulls are hauling their behinds in hopes to find a suitor for either Pau Gasol or Taj Gibson. The Bulls offered the Raptors a swap of Taj Gibson for Patrick Patterson, according to ESPN.
As of now, Bulls haven’t budged from seeking player AND first-round pick in any Taj Gibson talks.

Different take. Either way, shopping or listening, Bulls are looking for rotation player and 1st-rd pick for Pau/Taj https://t.co/fkNOuYHEn4

The Chicago Bulls are looking to receive a player and first-round draft pick in return for Taj Gibson. A steep price for a player that has been a fringe starter most of his career, but the Bulls aren’t willing to budge on their demands. If the front office does not find a proper suitor for either Gasol or Gibson, the hot seat they’re sitting on will become even hotter.
