Chicago really threw in the towel with this trade

No! Damn you Chicago Bulls! Damn you!

Rose was my favorite player back in 2010-2011, i can't say I'm happy to see him go, because I'm not happy.
Bulls didn't even recieve a pick, they even gave one up, and got 3 players that just don't fit the Bulls even slighly. Calderon can't play D, Robin Lopez won't be an upgrade from Noah, and Jerian Grant? He will probably be released soon.

Good trade for Chicago, Robin Lopez has a great contract and is by far the biggest asset in this deal.

Derrick Rose is an 80 Overall and makes 21 Million next year.

"Blockbuster" is a bit of a loose description.

[Real2KInsider]

Robin Lopez is also the best player in the trade and replaces both Gasol and Noah who were already going to move on in free agency.

Ironically enough Jose Calderon is probably a better fit next to Jimmy Butler at this point since he can actually shoot. Rose and Calderon are both net-negative defenders but only one of them knows his limitations and can accept a lesser role. For the the pomp and circumstance Rose fans thumped their chest about, he was healthy and the team missed the playoffs (while making the playoffs without him every other year).

It's going to be hilarious watching Rose give his best Marbury impression while Melo is calling for the ball and sulking up the court on defense.... and sad watching Porzingis rot away.

I can't wait for the Knicks to sign Dwight Howard and complete the Knickerbums squad of has-beens that will compete for the 8th seed.... as the dumbest stars in the league continue to scratch their heads wondering what LeBron does that they don't.
