    It is a stretch to say Taj Gibson is worth $7.5 mil, or that he is the reason, or even a significant part of the reason, the Bulls have experienced success in the East, or that Taj Gibson is the best reserve PF. There's are too many logical fallacies in your argument to continue. Sorry hun. :( Thanks for trying. ;)

    Two years ago, Taj received votes for 6th man of the year (during the lock out season): averaging 7.7 pts 5.3 reb 1.3 blocks .495 FG% .622 FT% (his 1 first place vote came out of Chi, he received 28 points of a possible 605 points, tied for 5th). Mo Williams, Carl Laundry, and Kyle Korver also received votes that season. So, I guess there's that. This would be an example of positive support for your opinion. ;)

    Arguably, his best season was his rookie season, where he started 70 games.

    I'm kinda having fun watching you shoot down your own arguments. Keep going :)

    I liked your list of centers and retired players who are better backup PFs.

    Seems Bill Walton and Kareem are better backup PFs than Taj, too.

    So, Scola is a center, and retired, and worse than Taj?

    Markieff Morris
    Marcus Morris

    There's 2 on the same team even. It's clear you aren't interested in making your case, despite my luke warm efforts to solicit what you base your opinion on.

    Seriously, is that the best you got?

    Markief has a career 13 PER. Taj has a career 14.6.

    Marcus is a SF.

    EDIT: I'll grant that he's 6'9" and maybe plays some PF.

    You are reaching.

    My case is simple. Taj is a top 3 backup PF. If that makes him a good player, so be it.
