NBA Trade Rumors: Top 8 December 15 trade-eligible deadline candidates

Goran Dragic, Chicago Bulls

I predict that Goran Dragic is a good bet to be moved at the NBA Trade Deadline, especially if the Chicago Bulls continue to meander toward mediocrity in the Eastern Conference. Right now, the Bulls would be on the outside looking in of the Play-In Tournament, and they will have an uphill road to climb during the second half of the season.

Even though Dragic is far removed from his prime years, he’s still a player that has proven in difference spurts this season that he could be a valuable option off the bench for a contender. Once the Bulls realize that they are probably not going to make a deep run in the playoffs, even if they make it, the expectation would be that they would be ready to move one or more of their veteran pieces.

At the top of that list, considering he is on a one-year deal, would be Goran Dragic. The asking price is unlikely to be high and there should be plenty of teams willing to take a flier on a proven veteran such as Dragic.
