The have proposed a trade for that would send , , and Euro League star to Minnesota, according to Chris Sheridan. ICYMI, here is story on offering Gibson, Mirotic, McDermott for : Multiple news outlets confirming: 鈥?Chris Sheridan (@sheridanhoops)
I think this trade would actually hurt the Bulls and gives the Cavs an edge in the Eastern Conference. Chicago has already increased their offensive potential <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Messenger-Bag>Kate Spade Messenger Bag</a> by adding collegiate star McDermott, but they also get a lift from Mirotic, the MVP of the Spanish League's King Cup for Real Madrid. Both are unproven in the NBA but the potential for immediate contribution is promising. The depth they have built this off season would be devastating if this trade went down. Now Kevin Love is a spectacular offensive player and a double-double machine on any given night, but if we dig a little deeper we can see that the trade not only weakens the depth of the playoff contending Bulls but also weakens them at power forward. The main player in the proposed trade for Kevin Love is power forward Taj Gibson. His dedication to defense as well as his scoring off the bench is instrumental to their success. If we just look at the box score it appears that Love would be an upgrade over Gibson with averages of 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds. If we look deeper and compare their touches and <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Shoes-Louboutin>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a> points per touch it becomes clearer that Love's production is linked to his usage as the primary scoring option in Minnesota. Gibson is coming off the bench and is not the Bull's number one scoring option. Even though Gibson doesn't have nearly as many offensive touches as Love, they still have identical points per touch at .30 and almost identical points per touch in the half court (see <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Revas-On-Sale>Tory Burch Revas On Sale</a> chart below). This is impressive for Gibson considering that he didn't have one 3-pointer throughout the entire 2013-14 season while Love made 190 3-pointers at a 37% rate. Obviously, Gibson makes better use of the limited touches he had considering all his baskets made were 2-pointers. If we look at Gibson's productivity in the 2013-14 postseason, his offensive production increased substantially. Taking into consideration all players with at least 200 touches, he had the most points per touch in the playoffs at .46 and ranked second with .72 points per touch in the half court. I think it is clear that Gibson is greatly undervalued as an offensive weapon considering his usage versus that of Love as Minnesota's primary scoring option.
