He puts up empty numbers, just like Jeff Green and Rudy Gay, that don't have any effect on the court. And I've always like Faried, and wanted to draft him over Shumpert back in the day, but he makes almost no sense when we already have Lopez, Porzingis, and Melo to man the front court. And giving up yet ANOTHER 1st round pick is ****ing laughable.

I want nothing to do with Derrick Rose after basically losing 3 years to injury, especially with our training staff. And his advanced numbers this year are ****ing horrific.

Would you flip Calderon, cash and a contract for Rose, if the Bulls were willing to give up an asset? Calderon is still a decent backup and his relationship with Gasol should be an asset since the Bulls want to retain Gasol's services this free agency. Just as important, the $13 million saved could then be added to their warchest to pursue Mike Conley in free agency. I wonder if that would make them inclined to move their 1st round pick this year? It's not like they need any more draft picks with the youth they currently have on the team. They barely could find time for McDermott, Portis and the like with the glut they have! Yet they are sitting pretty with their own pick AND Sacramento's pick, which seems like overkill.

And yeah, I think Rose is awful but we could always stretch his deal, which would only be a $6-$7 million hit to our cap. That might be worth a middling pick that could allow us to add another young player this offseason or make us competitive for trades this season (e.g. for Jeff Teague). Just food for thought.

Probably and I'd probably ask for a 2nd as well.

I just realized we don't have enough spare contracts to come close to matching Rose's. Something like this couldn't happen until the offseason, after the draft. Shame because we could've desperately used that 1st (and at least the 2nd rounder you mentioned).

rose..lmfao

The same 2 that use to rip AMARE apart for his health issues, and continue to come up with lame melo trades because he missed a few games.

You want trade for one of the most fragilest players in the history of the NBA.

come guy's are you really that bored?

If you look at the last two seasons, Rose played more games than Melo. Doesn't change the argument, but an interesting thought.
