So here is my Bulls trade:
To Boston: Rose ($21.3M), Butler ($16.4M)
To Chicago: Thomas ($6.7M), Bradley ($8.3M), Amir ($12.0M), Jerebko ($5.0M), BKN 2016 Pick
The idea is that the Bulls clear their slate with Noah expiring and Rose included in the package. They give up their star (Butler) but get back enough to assemble a decent team and also get some valuable pick or picks. If they waive Amir Johnson (non-guaranteed contract), they end up saving about $19M which I think would allow them to make a run at top FAs this off season.
For us, we take Rose back who probably isn't in anyone's long term plan but with our current young players and draft picks, we have enough to put a team around Butler over the next few years.
Having Rose on the payroll would eliminate any chance at a big time FA this off season but he expires and we can shop more in earnest the following off season. And if by some miracle, Rose returns to form, great, we have an MVP caliber PG to try and resign.
