Word is the Bulls want to move on from his 40 million dollars due next two years. Derek probably never regain his past form but it may be worth the risk if he can get back to 80% of who he was. Doug is probably better than anybody we have at small forward and he can shoot it.
We could simply part ways with Amir and Jonas that's 17 million, and Lee's 15 million is off the books.
They're getting tired of Rose in Chitown, it could be new motivation with a fresh start and him looking for payback. The Smart Rose backcourt would be interesting, and Avery would fit well with Rose as well.
Amir. Zeller
Sullinger. Kelly
Crowder. Doug
Smart Bradley
Rose Thomas
That's a solid ten man rotation if Rose is healthy. Big if but what else can we really do.
Dougie McBuckets is starting to look like a real NBA scorer.
But I'm not sure if I'd want to put up with Rose here, hindering Smart's development- even if it meant we get McDermott.
They'd probably want IT+ Bradley in return at a minimum. They'd probably want a pick too. Perhaps a 2016 pick swap with us.
Something like:
Rights to swap picks with 2016 Celtics first round pick+
Isaiah Thomas+
Avery Bradley
Jerebko (fills salary and helps their playoff push)
for
Rose
McDermott
Is McDermott looking good enough to send out IT and Bradley?
Do we want Rose pushing Smart to SG?
I'm not sure we do so I doubt we make such a trade even if Dougie is included.
