We all know that there have been an abundance of rumors surrounding the Chicago Bulls in the past month or so and it seems as though every player on the team is on the block or in danger of being moved outside of Jimmy Butler.
Recent injuries to Joakim Noah and Nikola Mirotic have put a muzzle on those trade talks as the Bulls once overcrowded front court now needs every player it can get.
Noah has come out recently saying he would like to re-sign with the Bulls, but that seems increasingly less likely, especially now that reports have come out that the Bulls would like to bring back Pau Gasol.
As for Pau Gasol … latest signals out of Chicago are that the Bulls want to RE-SIGN the free agent-to-be. As opposed to trading him

Gasol, after reviving his career in Chicago last season, is averaging 16.6 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 31.7 minutes per game.
Pau will be 36 at the start of next season. Although he is nowhere near the defensive presence he once was, he is still such a skilled and high IQ big man he should be able to be effective for a few more seasons, if he can stay healthy.
