Gross. Bobby Portis is good but not so good that I'd give up Melo and take back Rose. They'd need to come correct and pony up Nikola Mirotic, Doug McDermott AND Tony Snell. They are ALL having down years BUT have the potential to get better, which is appealing. Not to mention that they are locked into low value contracts for several seasons, which affords us the opportunity to acquire other assets via cap space. For that opportunity, I'd keep Jose Calderon to allow the Bulls the opportunity to pursue Mike Conley via free agency. That should balance out the utility of the trade for both teams.
